Safari Sevens Countdown: Argentina not coming but 13 others confirmed

Argentina have turned down a big opportunity to play in this years
Safari Sevens. The 7's World Cup finalists have said 'thanks but no
thanks'.

Thirteen other sides have already confirmed. Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania,
Tunisia, Morocco, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Emerging Boks, France,
Japan, Grenoble and Bristol Select have put pen to paper.

Fiji and Samoa are yet to confirm while on standby are Kenya's second
team, Mauritius and Namibia.

Efforts to get England, Wales and Western Province seem to have fallen through.

The good news is that the New Zealand All Blacks 7's coach Gordon
Tietjens will be the 2009 Safari Sevens Guest of Honour. The Kenya
rugby fraternity welcomes you to Kenya wholeheartedly. Many of us are
All Blacks fans when Kenya are not playing. Tietjens it is known has a
very soft side for Kenya 7's and has watched them evolve over the last
ten years into a world class team.
