=== Qualified teams ===

== Pool Stage ==

The first round, or pool stage, saw the 16 teams divided into four pools of four teams. Each pool was a single round-robin of six games, in which each team played one match against each of the other teams in the same pool. Teams were awarded four points for a win, two points for a draw and none for a defeat. A team scoring four tries in one match scored a bonus point, as did a team that lost by fewer than eight points. The teams finishing in the top two of each pool would advance to the quarter-finals.
