World U20 Rugby Trophy Kenya’s World Rugby u20 Trophy group opponents Samoa name squad to Nairobi
The two-time champions have named their 28-man squad for the World Rugby u20 tournament set to take place at the Nyayo National Stadium in July
Although they started their preparations late after a “grueling season” that saw them lift both the Kenya Cup and the Enterprise Cup, the former Shujaa player believes that they have stepped up their preparations well and are ready for the task ahead.
“We are one of the teams that started our preparations late having played in the Enterprise Cup final,” he said. “We needed to give the players time to rest and recover and recuperate from a gruesome 15s season,” he added.
“We started about five or six weeks ago and had to sit with the rest of the team on how we will tackle this year’s sevens circuit.
