Kenyans Can Play Rugby

By half time I had a fair indication that the standard of rugby was certainly light years ahead of the standard in Tanzania. They were called the Lions and they were from Nairobi, one of five representative teams from Kenya in the competition. Yeses they were big boys and very fit. We went down 55 - 0. Considering we had only one training together the night before and they have been training for months together I guess you could say it was inevitable. I played fullback and certainly had some defensive work to do.




Their entire backline and a couple of their loosies play for the National Sevens team and are all payed to play. Surprisingly good ball handling and composer but their fitness meant that their support play was ridiculously good. Over a few beers they mentioned that they thought they would be the best team to come out of Kenya, fingers crossed. Next game is on good Friday when we play the Cheetahs from west Kenya. Then the week after up to Nairobi which I am looking forward too.
