Lining up for the Wallaroos will be Kiama's Ruan Sims and Bulli's Nicole Beck, while assistant coach Sean Barrett also hails from Kiama.

Australia will lock horns with the imposing Samoans in a World Cup qualifier on August 7.

Warringah outside centre Ruan, the sister of Brisbane Broncos forward Ashton Sims, was selected after starring at the recent national championships.

She scored four tries in the 2006 World Cup and is also a member of the Australian women's sevens team.

Beck is a former Australian touch football representative and is aiming to cement a starting spot on the wing after making her Test debut last year against the New Zealand Black Ferns.

Barrett is well known in Illawarra rugby circles and coached the Illawarriors last year.

He has coached the Junior Waratahs and is the ARU development manager for the southern region.

"To travel to Samoa and play them on home soil is a challenge the group is looking forward to," Barrett said.

"We're under no illusions that it's going to be easy. Traditionally we all know they will be big, strong and will physically look to dominate the set piece and carry the ball at us with some venom.

"The camp next week allows us to prepare for tactics we hope to employ to get the result we need."

Australia have never reached the semi-finals of the World Cup.

The Wallaroos beat Ireland 18-14 to finish seventh in 2006.
