Why does this question close on the 1st of October if the match takes place on the 28th of September?

@DavidI fair question. I live in NZ and the games span middle of the night to early morning.

I created questions during the FIFA women's world cup and got caught out with timezone differences (set closing date for the NZ date and match spanned midnight because of extra time). To avoid this I conservatively over-set closure dates a few days after each match to ensure I keep them open until full-time.

In this case the match is 8am NZT so happy to update to 29 Sept NZT.

@DavidI

I noticed that you've picked Samoa here, depending on how you see Argentina bouncing back from their first match you may be interested in this question too:

Will a Pacific Island nation (one of Tonga, Samoa and/or Fiji) make it into the 2023 Rugby World Cup quarterfinals?

81% chance. Resolves YES if at least 1 of Tonga, Samoa or Fiji make it to the knockout phase of the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Otherwise resolves NO Background Pacific Island players have chosen to play for larger population rugby playing nations for many years (and still do to this day). For this 2023 World Cup cycle, an unprecedented number of capped players who previously played for the likes of New Zealand and Australia have opted to play for their Pacific Island teams. It will be interesting to see how they go.

@JulianLees Fair Enough!

@JulianLees Also, I would invest in this question, I am just a bit short on Mana!

@DavidI ah bugger, well I hope this comes through for you. Should be a good match

@JulianLees Yes! I am really looking forward to it! Thank you so much!!! You didn't have to do that! You made my day. Is Manifold always this wholesome?

@DavidI no big deal. I'm just here for fun and curiosity. Assume there's a few in the same boat.

@JulianLees it is the best boat to be in for sure! 💙
