OK guys, before the Safari 7s begin, Kenya's national team Shujaa are on their way to the London 7s, then on to the Edinburgh 7s, before returning to defend the Safari Sevens trophy.

Shujaa have a tough pool in London against the NZ All Blacks, Wales and Portugal.

In Scotland they will not have it easy either as they are pooled with: Samoa (Oh boy), France and Argentina.

The London and Edinburgh 7s are the last rounds of the IRB Seven World Series and Shujaa should aim to win or at least participate int he finals of either of the tournaments so as to improve their overall rankings. The Samoans are leading the rankings with 124 points while Kenya is at 7th (5th from bottom) with 52 points. Canada is at the bottom with 11 points.

@DonBen
Forgive me for not being too optimistic, but once again we are represented with retreads!!! and surely does Benja thinks we can garner the 18 points needed to reach our target with the said team?

Surely i think it's time we did something differently maybe a new coaching staff! that said i'll be there shouting myself hoarse for the TEAM.

...no hope...old generals never win wars...

the problem with rugby is depth. We don't tap the best of the skills into the national team. look at this:
we only have Clubs in Nairobi (5), Mombasa(1), Kisumu(1) and Nakuru(1). High schools play really good rugby. In my hey days back in the days. I was lucky to have a self drive to look for fare to actually try and get to the nearest town to play. (Nakuru). Remember schools like Njoro boys, Kakamega high? and others? those people had skills but because of lack of grassroot structure most of the players got lost in the villages if they do not manage to get a chance to go to Nairobi University or KU. I know for a fact that the players we currently have are not the best players we could have in the country but they are the best we have trained. If i were in KRFU i would try and push for grassroot rugby. Have rugby pitches and balls left right center. from Embu to Mumias. From Eldoret to Narok. have a third division league after ESS and pump money into it and slowly push teams that excel to ESS and then Kenya Cup. Thats the only way we can get good sustainable results. what we have currently is the Best of Nairobi and Nakuru playing rugby. While talent is being wasted on funny sports like soccer in the grassroots.

Kenya vs Portugal not Poland ... since when did Poland play 7s ?

I agree the Kenyan team needs some revamping .... they appear to have no hunger to win. I guess most of them have reached their peak, nothing much more to achieve.

,,,next match against Wales just about to start. We may get to the next stage for the cup (if we beat Wales!!!)... But that is as far as we can go...

I give up ooh!!!

Will we get the try?????

We lost , we have to beat Newzealand convincingly to proceed to main cup, tough call!!!!

@All, as a rugby player - i say we don't have depth!!! different teams require different players. we don't have depth. Grassroot rugby is our only savior.
