Coach Tomokino announces Manusina XV for tri series

Tomokino has scoured the rugby playing nations and will assemble his team from Australia, New Zealand, USA and Samoa.

Eta Mailau is the sole player chosen out of the Utah Vipers in the USA.

He has also chosen four players from Australia and six Samoa based players.

The team will have its first team run in Nadi as players assemble from Australia, New Zealand, Samoa and the United States.

'We are grateful World Rugby has provided another test playing opportunity for our Women' says Tomokino.

Ramsey Tomokino keen on Manu 7s job

RNZ reports applications closed on Friday to replace Damian McGrath, who was sacked following Samoa's failure to qualify for the Rio Olympics.

Tomokino coached the Samoa Under 20s team to victory at the Junior World Trophy this year.

He's also in charge of the Manusina sevens and fifteens teams, and was recently appointed Manu Samoa team manager.

"I came close last year when Damian got that appointment so I just thought it would be an opportune time to have a go at it again and see what happens."
