There was a trial for interested players in Brisbane on Sunday and then a second one in Sydney at the Cambelltown Harlequins Club on Monday.
The two trials were made necessary because of the level of interest from players with Samoan heritage who are keen to represent the national side.
ABC Radio Australia reports the trials were supervised by coach Ramsey Tomokino, with his assistant and former Manusina international, Taala Cynthia Ta'ala-Timaloa.
