RUGBY Are Kobs too broke to afford a new jersey?
After falling short in the Nile Special Rugby Premier League that concluded two months ago, the Legends side started the National Sevens Series in the same kit.
Kobs fell 19-07 to Stanbic Black Pirates in the final to collect 19 points from the first circuit and will be looking to improve by winning the second round up North.
Kasito’s inclusion will add quality and Sevens experience to a side that already has Pius Ogena, Byron Oketayot, Mark Osuna and Karim Arinaitwe.
Faragi Odugo, whose superb try at the death against Platinum Credit Heathens handed Kobs a 15-12 win and a place in the final, is also on the team.

Kobs will also welcome the news of Joseph Aredo’s availability this weekend.
The back missed the action last weekend and watched from the side but is now among the 13 players named for the July 8-9 action.
