what happens if samoa beat england

On October 7, 2023, England played against Samoa in the Rugby World Cup. England won the match 18-17 after a late try from Danny Care. If Samoa had won the match, they would have had a chance to qualify for the knockout rounds of the tournament. However, the chances of Samoa qualifying were slim, as they would have needed to beat England by 29 points with a try bonus point, and Japan and Argentina would have had to draw without a bonus point.
