RUGBY Paul Odera: Challenges of being Kenya 15s coach and how Simbas can qualify for 2027 World Cup
Odera's stint at the helm of Kenya XV's Rugby Team was marked with highs and lows.
Paarwater will use the match to select a team that will be in action on Saturday. “There’s a lot of guys in our team who haven’t played yet and we want all of them to get some game time,” he said.
He added that their main focus has been on the kicking game to make the players understand the part of the field where they have to exit from the lineouts and scrums and know how to play in the right areas of the field.
He also lauded the squad for their impressive set pieces during their previous match on Saturday despite their loss. Paarwater watched his team lose 18-7 to Eastern Province Elephants in Port Alfred, South Africa.
“The guys understand our contesting policy and that’s why we managed to steal a few balls from EP’s possession.
