The top two in each pool will be determined by the usual methods, but should it come to a tie, World Rugby has stated that third-placed teams will be ranked according to number of competition points; if still level, points difference, then try difference will separate sides. With this format, the eventual champions will play seven matches en route to lifting Webb Ellis Cup.
