The KCB Rugby team heads into the season's crucial weekend, missing five of their key players, but head coach Andrew Amonde remains unfazed. Captain Vincent Onyala, George Ooro, Festus Shiasi, Nygel Amaitsa, and Samuel Asati are all in Cardiff, Wales, to represent Kenya at the inaugural Ultimate Sevens Championship. This absence leaves a significant void in KCB's squad as they aim to secure both the Christie 7s title and the overall National Sevens Circuit crown.
While most teams would struggle with such a blow, Amonde views it as an opportunity for the bench players to showcase their skills on the most prestigious domestic stage. KCB enters the RFUEA Grounds with confidence, buoyed by their 12-10 win over Kabras Sugar in the Embu 7s final last weekend. The victory put them six points clear at the top of the standings, giving them a chance to retain the circuit title outright with a strong semi-final performance.
Against Kabras Sugar, who have their sights set on an outright win to keep KCB from finishing higher than third, KCB's depth will be crucial. The outcome could determine who emerges victorious in the 2026 circuit championship.
