Samoa's suffered a blow ahead of tomorrow's league international against the Kiwis at Mt Smart Stadium with fullback Daniel Vidot pulling out to protect his chances of playing State of Origin for Queensland.

Meanwhile Kiwis centre Shaun Kenny-Dowall is confident he has more to offer in his second crack in the test jumper.

He's confident that his form for the Sydney Roosters will translate to his first game for the Kiwis since 2007.

Kenny-Dowall says he's matured a lot since three years ago, he's playing more consistent and he's in the centres which suits him a lot more.

New Zealand's first match in the Four-Nations tournament is against England next weekend in Wellington.
