Kenya have been Pooled in a less tricky group.

The national men’s sevens side, Shujaa have landed a slightly favorable Pool ahead of the Los Angeles 7s slated for Saturday 27th to Sunday 28th August.

The Los Angeles 7s marks the final leg of the 2021-2022 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series with Kenya pooled against Samoa, England, and Scotland.

Kenya were staring down the barrel of relegation but their woes were eased after they were confirmed as a core team for next season despite hovering perilously close to the relegation zone.

This is after England, Scotland and Wales took the joint decision for Great Britain Sevens (GB) to compete in the global tournament beginning with the 2023 Series consequently ensuring that no team would be relegated from the men’s 2022 season.

The Felix McGrath-led side set their campaign rolling with a clash against Samoa at 8.26 pm EAT on Saturday 27 August before playing England at 11.10 pm EAT the same evening.

Shujaa will kick off their Day 2 with a clash against Scotland at 2.21 am EAT on Sunday 28 August as they hope to make it to the Main Cup quarters.

Kenya are coming from improved performances in the Commonwealth Games where they finished joint seventh after reaching the Main Cup quarters.
