Weru admits that this year’s circuit is very competitive and will get harder over the remaining legs.
Menengai Oilers RFC head coach Gibson Weru believes his side must become more consistent if they are to stand a chance of retaining the National Sevens Circuit title.
Oilers finished fourth at the Prinsloo 7s in Nakuru following a loss to KCB on Sunday, consigning them to staying third on 46 points, 17 behind log leaders Kabras Sugar, who Weru believes are the most consistent side.

RUGBY Mwamba coach Collins Injera on how to break circuit's quarter-final curse
Kulabu have finished fifth in all the legs of the circuit this season.
“It is what it is but a lot of lessons to learn and a lot of positives to pick from. Losing John Okoth and Bildad (Ogeta), those are two key players for me so it becomes a cycle that affects everything and when you need to dig deep, you have to have players who can do that. It played a key part in our loss.
“It was a competitive one. I am excited by the level of competition. I am challenged. We will see how well we can respond and how well we can prepare in a few days. I am happy with the squad. We will come back better and stronger.”

RUGBY Kabras coach Carlos Katywa on why victory over Quins was bittersweet
The Sugarmen edged Kenya Harlequins 10-5 to lift the Prinsloo 7s title.
“Between the top six sides, any team can win on any particular day. Kabras are the most consistent side and if they can maintain that, it becomes harder.
“If they win on Sunday (which they did) it creates a gap that is very difficult for us to try and cover, but on the series itself, I am keen to try and build a team that is capable of winning and playing together and from there, we can see how to grow.
