time their stock went down. Unfortunate not unlucky after the pool
stages they found themselves in the bowl and though they reached the
bowl final and lost they generally had a poor performance all round.
Basics were non-existent and tactics were lacking.
The focus in todays analysis shifts from the players to the technical
team. Questions to Ayimba, Ochieng and Osir;
Do you understand what a squad is?
Do you know your strongest team?
Do you have a game plan and alternatives? Do you ever try out
different combinations? Do you know the players individual strengths?
Do you play game by game?
Do you analyse your opponents before you play them?
Do you do the maths in terms of tries needed against weaker teams?
Some of the players in Adelaide must have felt wasted and frustrated
with Dennis Mwanja, Sidney Ashioya and Victor Sudi underutilised when
they could have added more spark. Others like Gibson Kahuthia and
Lavin Asego look jaded and tired.
My starting seven would definitely have Humphrey Kayange, Collins
Injera and Ian Simiyu. The rest I would juggle around. Let's see what
the readers think and they could post their preferable starting seven.
Lastly is the Coach Ayimba in order as he prominently promotes his
personal sponsor H20 in preference of Kenya Airways who are the team
sponsor?
Kenya Rugby 7's my mama and I are behind you. Let's just get it right
and okombe will come. Make us proud in Hong Kong. You are the pride of
Africa.
Go Kenya Go.
B2B starting line-up: Kayange, Sudi, Mwanja, Asego, Simiyu, Injera, Ashioya

guys like kahuthia will always miss tackles, biko needs to be included as the guy provides some missed creativity.....physical strength still lacking with a lot of these jamas and it shows when playing the big teams, you get tired coz you always have to put in a lot of effort in making tackles e.t.c.....i will not even attempt to comment on some of the basic skills e.g passing, fitness
South Africa, Australia, NZ and England have all dropped in performance. NZ had 5 new caps in Adelaide. Australia now have a an average age of 21. Get what i am driving at?? This means they will be at an average age of 27 in 2016 and at the peak of their career ready to bring the coveted Olympics gold home.
If we are too afraid to even use our bench. When will we see new caps??? Young guys who can take us to 2016. DO we always have to wait for the likes of Mwanja and Sudi to come from their injuries?? At this rate i will not be Shocked if Makaka makes a comeback to the team.
We already have the 48 points we had last term. i would go for a development side. No harm if we do not collect any more points.
My squad of 12 would be as below.
1. Oscar Ouma (Nakuru)
2. Opong (Mwamba)
3. Felix Ayange (Leos)
4. Mike Wanjala (Leos)
5. Lavin Asego (Mwamba)
6. Humphrey Kyange (Mwamba)
7. Collins Injera (Mwamba)
8. Biko Adema (Nondies)
9. Peter Kepha (Leos)
10. Ken Andola (Leos)
11. Joesph Abala (Leos)
12. Patrice Aguda (Quins)
Ild retain a bit of experience looking to still retain Injera for 2016 and drop Lavin Opong and Kyange with time.
the National 7s Rugby Team is refereed as the Kenya National 7s Rugby Team and not Shujaa. This is the team that participates in the IRB Sevens series.
Shujaa is the Kenya Sevens second team or the development Sevens team for Kenya Rugby
Anonymous, keep up with the times. They are now called shujaa.
