Rules
- Four match points are awarded for a win.
- Two match points are awarded to each team for a draw.
- A bonus match point is awarded to a team that scores four or more tries in a match and/or loses a match by seven points or fewer.
- Three bonus match points are awarded to a team that wins all five of its matches (known as a Grand Slam). This ensures that a Grand Slam winning team always ranks over a team with four wins and bonus points.
- Should two or more teams be tied on match points, the team with the better points difference (points scored less points conceded) is ranked higher.
- Should this fail to separate tied teams, the team that scored the higher number of total tries in their matches is ranked higher.
- Should two or more teams remain tied for first place at the end of the Championship after applying the above tiebreakers, the title is shared between them.
