Kenya's rugby sevens team is set to face Scotland in the 13th place play-off of the Dubai Sevens on Saturday, December 7, 2019, at 12:52pm at The Sevens Stadium.
Kenya's quest to win a match in the tournament failed when they lost to Spain 22-19, hours after they had gone down to England 12-5 to finish last in Pool 'D'.
The team's tries from Johnstone Olindi, Nelson Oyoo, and Jacob Ojee were not enough to spur them to victory, as they led 14-12 at the break but ultimately fell short.
Spain's Pol Pla, Inaki Mateu, Pablo Fontes, and Ignacio Rodriguez-Guerra each landed a try to hand their team victory, but it was all in vain as they also dropped to play Ireland in the play-off for 11th place.
The World Rugby Sevens Series has adopted a new format this year, where those finishing first and second in the pools proceed to Cup quarter-finals, with the rest being paired in classification matches depending on their performances.
