Comments: I'm not sure if this is a genuine Africa Cup competition given that the four teams in the World Cup Qualifier are not participating. Four teams - Kenya, Senegal, Morocco and Cameroon meet in Casablanca. Two teams play each other - Kenya playing Senegal and Morocco playing Cameroon, the winners of the matches meet in some sort of final. There is a Southern group comprising Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Botswana and Zambia so I presume the winners will play each other in a
It is gratifying to see the new names in the squad. It is disappointing not to see the 7's stars in the squad. However, this maybe vindicates this post and this post. And maybe that is the direction to go!
We will try to get the updates from Casablanca and post them here as soon as possible. Weekly Ramble later today.

Noty a bad squad. Given time it can develop into an awesome side as the talent is there. One or two doubts on the players but let them have their chance.
Big question is 'What the Fcuk is Asiko Owiro doing as Head of Delegation?'
The board has enoughf people such as Branko, Anampiu, Ombisi and even Moturi.
Can see the rehabilitation of Asiko Owiro back into the system is taking shape.
Who next ? Musangi?
Exactly - Asiko Owiro????? this is pure politics. even better have the inefficient GM on the trip.
forget the board hopw come their is nt any mwamba player on the team .
This is the big league where serious rugby is played mwamba players do not understand the game can only play 7s
Si i hear that they all excused themselves from selection due to injury, fatigue, other commitments etc yet they are on leo! Dont blame them its really up to them at the end of the day!
One red card, two yellows after the first game...perhaps we should have left the KCB players out of the squad??...
