The 2024 Super Rugby Series will kick off early next month
The Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) has announced the composition of the four teams that will be in action during the much-anticipated 2024 Rugby Super Series set to kick off in May 2024.
The Super Series tournament which started in 2003 is set to resume after the 11-year break to catapult the 15’s game to greater heights.
Buffaloes will be based in Kakamega and will comprise Kenya Cup defending champions Kabras RFC, Kisumu RFC, and former Kenya Cup side Catholic Monks. They will turn up in white and blue jerseys.
The second team, Cheetahs will be based in Nakuru town. They will comprise 2021/22 Kenya Cup finalists Menengai Oilers, Nakuru RFC, and former Kenya Cup side Homeboyz RFC. Their jersey will be red and white.
In Nairobi, KCB Rugby, Kenyatta University’s Blak Blad, and Mwamba will make up the Lions squad. They will don in green and black jerseys.
Rhinos will be made up of clubs along Ngong Road; Kenya Harlequins, Nondies RFC, and varsity side Strathmore Leos. The coaches and players will be announced in due time.
The men’s tournament format will involve each team playing against the other three over the first three match days held at different venues: KCB Sports Club in Ruaraka, Nairobi; Nakuru Athletics Club in Nakuru; and The Bull Ring in Kakamega.
The top two teams will advance to the final, while the remaining two will compete for the last two positions at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi.
The Rugby Super Series 2024 is scheduled to take place on four Saturdays (4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th of May 2024), with matches planned for Nairobi on the first and last weekends and in Nakuru and Kakamega in between.
