Humwa has been immense for Shujaa in the two Dubai tournaments as he registered a try in the narrow loss to the USA in Pool B last weekend.
The burly forward tops most of the statistics as he is also fourth in most points scored in the two tournaments with 25 points from his five tries.
Head coach Innocent Simiyu has trusted Humwa with every game this season as he has 12 games under his belt with Kenya reaching the main cup quarter-finals on both legs of the series.

The Koelel High School alumnus has added a defensive shield to Shujaa as he is fourth on the most tackles made, utilizing his huge frame to keep sides at bay.
The dream team was dominated by South Africans who bagged back to back titles in Dubai with Humwa and the Australian duo of Josh Turner and Christopher Roche being the only non-South Africans.
