Kevin Wambua has made two changes to the Shujaa squad that will be heading to Australia this weekend for the Perth 7s tournament. Vincent Onyala and Brian Tanga return to the squad after missing out on the first two legs due to injury.
The team had a residential camp for one week preparing for the tournament, speaking during the Team Naming, co-Captain Samuel Asati stated that the camp was very beneficial for the team. “Having the boys in one place focusing on training brought us together, we’re able to work on the tactical bits of the sport and this has improved our performance. Additionally, having Onyala and Tanga back is a plus as they bring in a lot of leadership within the set p together with Tony.” said Asati.
Shujaa is in Pool C alongside Fiji, New Zealand and Uruguay and they will kick off their Perth 7s campaign on Friday at 6:00am against New Zealand. At 10:59am they will wrap up their day one action against Fiji. On Saturday morning at 7:00am, Shujaa will face Uruguay to complete their Pool matches.
