Published on December 16, 2019, Kenya Sevens team's performance in the Cape Town Sevens marked a significant improvement from the previous season.
After losing to South Africa 17-5 in the quarterfinals, the team secured at least 10 points and a top-eight finish, a notable improvement from the previous leg in Dubai where they collected four points to finish in position 13.
Compared to the previous season, the team struggled and escaped relegation by a whisker, but this time around, they will have amassed not less than 14 points after the first two tours to Dubai and Cape Town.
With a good pre-season training and new coach Paul Feeney, the team is expected to build on the gains and aim at improving in the next legs that will take them to eight other destinations.
Consistency will be key, noting that besides the Series, Kenya will be taking part in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
With the government releasing about Sh80 million to Kenya Rugby Union, the team is expected to prepare well for the coming encounters.
