RUGBY Safari Sevens returns following two-year hiatus
The tournament last took place in 2021. It was set to return in 2022, but was canceled by the previous KRU board due to “unavoidable circumstances”.
Shujaa were the winners of the last edition two years ago when they defeated Germany 12-5 in the cup final while Kenya Morans secured third place after overcoming Red Wailers 12-5.
The Kenyan sides will therefore hope to make a statement at the event with Shujaa keen to defend their title while also using it as part of their preparations for the 2023-24 Challenger Series as well as the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Safari Sevens was set to return in 2022, but was canceled by the former KRU regime due to “unavoidable circumstances”.
