- ^ An injury sustained by original captain David Pocock meant he was ruled out of the championship after round 1. This thus made scrum-half Will Genia captain from round 2 onwards. However, an injury to his leg in round 3 meant he was unable to continue to play in the championship. Nathan Sharpe was named captain for the remaining round of the tournament.
