Of the ten members of the Australian National Team who are at this tournament, nine are returning athletes from their silver medal winning team at the 2000 Paralympics, with the lone exception being a 3.5 classified player, Grant Boxall. They continue to be well coached by Terry Vinyard.

The Swiss come in to Warm Springs with a small team of seven players, four of whom are veterans of their Sydney 2000 team. This include 3 of their top-4 Paralympic scorers, with a notable addition of 3.5 player Cornel Sonderer who may be replacing the Swiss 3.5 who made 32 turnovers at the Sydney Games. The coach of the Swiss team at the World Rugby Challenge was their assistant coach in Sydney.
