Morans learn of their 13th All-Africa Games foes

Kenya has been pooled alongside hosts Ghana and Egypt in the 13th edition of All Africa Games Rugby Sevens scheduled to take from the 18th to the 21st of March at the University of Ghana.

The Morans will also face a 16th-seeded side. They will kick off day one action against the 16th-seeded team before wrapping up day one action against Egypt.

The Louis Khisia-coached side will then face Ghana on day two of the tournament after which the knockout stages will be confirmed.

Other rugby powerhouses taking part in this tournament are Uganda, Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Nigeria, Tunisia, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, Libya, Niger, Benin and Togo.

Khisia had earlier indicated that the Morans would be taking part in the game to expose them to high-intensity matches.

“Morans will play in the African Games. We are looking at them getting exposure and in the long term, playing in various satellite Sevens tournaments and acting as a feeder program for the main team in the years to come,” Khisia offered.

The team is currently in a residential camp at the Moi International Sports Center – Kasarani for the next six days before departure on 13th March. The final traveling squad will be announced next week.
