Why on earth would you not go for the kick?!
It wouldn't make a difference unless Australia and Samoa draw.
Ladder as it stands...
New Zealand 3-0 F/A: +22
England: 1-2 F/A: 0
Australia: 1-1 F/A: -14
Samoa: 0-2 F/A: -8
So Australia just has to win or draw.
Samoa just has to win by 9+
I wonder how they determine points?
Say if England won by 9, would NZ go through based on superior totals or?
