On Sunday 26th January 2025, a 47-man Simbas squad kicked off their RWC Qualification preparations with a 4-day residential camp in Kakamega.
The team will be competing in the Rugby Africa Cup in Uganda this July where the tournament winner will have secured their spot in the 2027 Rugby World Cup, in Australia. The runner-up in the 2025 RAC will have another chance to earn the RWC qualification through a pre-repechage playoff match against Asia.
