The Kenya sevens rugby team will be seeking redemption as they enter the seventh leg of the World sevens series, the Vancouver Sevens at the BC Place stadium this weekend.
Speaking to Kenya head coach Damian Mc Grath on phone, the tactician said he was impressed with their performances despite finishing at the bottom of the Los Angeles leg last weekend.
”In Los Angeles, we controlled the possession but we failed to turn that into points and we will be looking at how we improve on our execution this time round in Vancouver. I was more pleased with the first two games against Australia and Fiji.
Shujaa will kick off their hunt against Fiji at 10.52 pm this Friday and then rest and await to wrap up pool C contention against Great Britain at 4.54 am and against Uruguay at 11.20 pm on Saturday.
Vancouver will be a three-day adventure for the participating teams where onlyfour matches will be played on Friday. GreatBritain will kick off the tournament against Uruguay before Kenya and Fiji meet to renew the rivalry followed by South Africa vs France and Argentina vs Japan.
New Zealand will headline pool A consisting of Samoa, USA and Spain. PoolB will be a pure rivalry renewal between second-placed Argentina and third-placed South Africa while France and Japan will make the group more interesting.
Vancouver hosts – Canada are just below Kenya on the world standings and willbe braced for tough encounters against Ireland, Australia and Chile in pool D.
