Shujaa to play Germany in Safari Sevens semis as Samurai play Uganda.

The Kenya national sevens side Shujaa are set to face Germany in the main cup semi-finals of the 2023 Safari Sevens tournament  following a flawless group stage campaign that saw them win all their four matches.

Having seen off a challenge from South Africa All Stars, perennial rivals Uganda, and Tropic 7s on day one, the Kevin ‘Bling’ Wambua-coached side shook off some early rusty signs as they beat Red Wailers in their last group match on Sunday to make the last four as Pool A winners.

Wailers consisted of some of Kenya’s most reputable players, including Andrew Matoka and Beldad Ogeta.

This meant it was not easy for them, but tries by Vincent Onyala, Tony Omondi, and Kevin Wekesa put them 17-0 up heading into the break.

Wailers briefly bounced back with a successfully converted try,  but Onyala quickly restored Shujaa’s lead with his second of the match.

Brian Mutugi and Festus Shiasi then put the game to bed with a 34-7 victory to finish top of Pool B. They will now be facing Germany in the semis, who finished second in their pool behind Samurai, who will face Uganda as the neighbouring country finished second in pool A.
