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.

This is huge. History for Fiji making their third quarterfinal appearance after their pool phase performance. Previously they made the quarterfinals in 1987 (the first tournament) and 2007 (France)

They may fancy themselves against England after their warm up match too (a 30-22 victory at Twickenham).
@JulianLees Plus Fiji not making 4 tries. (Any point for Fiji means QF for them and Australia going home.)
@capybara Fiji only need a single point as head to head is first decider and Fiji beat Aus
@capybara yea neither. Had to do some frantic googling this morning:
The winner of the Match in which the two tied Teams have played each other shall be the higher ranked.
The Team which has the best difference between points scored for and points scored against in all its pool Matches shall be the higher ranked.
The Team which has the best difference between tries scored for and tries scored against in all its pool Matches shall be the higher ranked.
The Team which has scored most points in all its pool Matches shall be the higher ranked.
The Team which has scored most tries in all its pool Matches shall be the higher ranked.
Should the tie be unresolved at the conclusion of steps 1 through 5, the rankings as per the updated. Official World Rugby World Rankings on October 14, 2019 will determine the higher ranked Team.
Huge result for Fiji this time beating Australia for the first time in 69 years
@tiswtr hope you enjoyed that one
@tiswtr it would be great to see Fiji make it through. I always love the creativity, flair and physicality they bring to the game. Great result against England so hopefully good signs for the possibility of YES
