They were once rated as the best entertainment team in the IRB 7’s series but so far this year, Kenya have won just one of their six pool matches in the opening two legs in Dubai and South Africa.

Despite winning the Shield final in Dubai, their failure to reach the Cup knock out stages at either tournament leaves them with no Series points for the first time since the 2006/2007 season.

Having built a reputation in the past few years as a side that can, on their day, beat anyone, their captain Humphrey Kayange is looking for his side to get back to their best, starting at the Westpac Stadium this weekend.

Kenya is in Pool C with current defending IRB 7’s champions Samoa, Australia and Tonga.

They will play in the opening pool game tomorrow against Samoa at 1pm.

Meanwhile, the Digicel Fiji 7’s team takes on France tomorrow at 1.44pm, followed by Canada at 4.40pm and their last pool game is against South Africa at 9.12pm.
