Kenya Sevens is set to name its final team for the World Rugby Sevens Series in Hamilton and Sydney on Wednesday in Nakuru. The team has been undergoing residential training since Sunday.
Former players Oscar Ouma, Samuel Oliech, and Dennis Ombachi, who last played for Kenya Sevens during the 2017/2018 World Rugby Sevens Series, have joined the team for the training sessions. They will have to prove their mettle and battle for positions alongside other players.
Deputy head coach Kevin 'Bling' Wambua said the team is in good spirits, pushing and supporting each other to the limit. The team has had three sessions daily since Monday at the Moi Showground and Nakuru Athletic Club.
Wambua explained that they have focused on strengthening the technical and tactic aspects in the team, including sharpening their attack structures and defence alignment. The team will end its camp on Wednesday before heading to Nairobi for departure to New Zealand on Saturday evening.
Kenya Sevens will face South Africa, England, and Japan in Pool 'B' at Hamilton Sevens. The team is currently placed 11th in the 2019/2020 World Rugby Sevens Series with 15 points.
