The set contains team cards for all 22 teams from the most expansive Club World Cup, containing all 12 European League and 10 Australian Breakaway League teams, with each team card including try scorers lists (including extra scorers). Note that some ratings have been estimated due to lack of information, so this set does not contain individual kicking ranges.

 

The Australian and New Zealand teams dominated the tournament with the European teams only winning eight matches out of 60 in the strength-vs-strength cross-league round robin stage, and five of the ten Australian Breakaway League teams won all six of their matches and none winning fewer than four. Wigan were best of the European League teams with two wins, and so it was no surprise in the cross-league quarter-finals they gave the closest match, before falling to Hunter 22-18. The expansion club would reach the final as they defeated Cronulla-Sutherland in the semi-finals, with Brisbane making the final by beating Auckland, denying them a home final appearance. And Brisbane would deny Hunter a dream title in what proved their only season, as they completed a treble to go with their minor premiership and league championship ,as Darren Smith scored a hat-trick in a 36-12 demolition.
