“The boys are welcome in the team. They will be given an equal opportunity to train and a chance to be selected to play in the remaining legs,” said Paul Murunga, the Shujaa Head Coach as quoted by KRU.

Kenya 7s is in pool C that has New Zealand, Fiji and Australia all currently in the top 6 according to the table series standing. This is the toughest pool Kenya has been banded in so far this season.
