My sports: Shujaa stretched to the limit in World Rugby Sevens Series

Shujaa stretched to the limit in World rugby Sevens series

www.standardmedia.co.ke | By Washington Onyango

Kenya Sevens struggles at the World Rugby Seven Series continued over the weekend after they finished last at the London Sevens in England.

Shujaa are a pale shadow of themselves with worrying performances in the world stage, especially since the beginning of the year.

Currently one of the 15 “core teams” of the World Series and with a guaranteed place in all 10 events each season, many expect Kenya to compete for titles alongside Argentina, Fiji, South Africa and Australia, who are considered world best rugby Sevens teams.

However, Shujaa has been reduced to whipping boys who are always bullied and thrashed with teams Kenya predominantly used to dominate.

Since the beginning of the year, Kenya has not gone past the group stage after poor results in Malaga, Seville, Singapore, Vancouver, Toulouse and now London.
