RUGBY Olago believes KCB are way off being ready for Kenya Cup despite making Floodies final
KCB comprehensively thrashed Menengai Oilers to reach the final of the Impala Floodlit Trophy against Nondies for the second year in a row, but Olago remains far from convinced.
Kenya Rugby Union noted that the majority of the squad members were on duty in the Currie Cup First Division competition.
However, some of the members will not be available for the clash against Zambia and Uganda including Samuel Asati, Beldad Ogeta, and Elvis Olukusi who are now with Shujaa.
Timothy Mmasi will also not be available since he is now playing for Old Blue Rugby Club in the USA and Emmanuel Mulla is also a missing key player.
Meanwhile, making a return to the squad is Oilers prop Edward Mwaura as well as the KCB duo of Mike Kimwele and Emmanuel Silungi.
Dan Ang’wech (Kabras Sugar), Paul Mutsami (Kenya Harlequin), and Shem Okola (Strathmore Leos) are all in line for their potential debuts. The squad will be whittled down to 28 ahead of Sunday night’s departure for Kampala.
