If the New Zealander wins, the bet will return $72,800.
The last-minute punt eclipses an earlier bet of $16,400 at $1.01 to return $16,564 or a $164 profit.
There has also been large bets on New Zealand to thrash Samoa.
One punter has put $1000 on New Zealand to win by 61 points or more at $10 to return $10,000.
Support for Samoa has been growing. After opening at odds of $15, a late surge of money on Samoa has seen it narrow to $8 to win the match.
The game kicks off at 2pm NZ time.
