RUGBY: Kenya Sevens great Injera gives his verdict on new Shujaa coach Kevin Wambua
The Shujaa legend has explained what he thinks the new technical bench will add to the squad as Kenya seeks to return to its glory days
Wambua was given a strong technical bench, that includes Strathmore Leos coach Louis Kisia, as his assistant, and former Shujaa captain Andrew Amonde as the strength and conditioning coach.
“I wish them all the best because those are coaches that have shown they can produce good results with their teams,“ said Weru.
“Louis has been very good with Strathmore. Kevin is an experienced coach. I think he has been given the opportunity to coach at that level. He has been an assistant coach and headed the women. I believe he is experienced enough and I wish them all the best.

RUGBY What Kevin Wambua needs to restore Kenya Sevens to past glory
The new Shujaa coach has a full in-tray as relegated Kenya look to qualify for the 2024 Olympics and start their journey back to the World Sevens Series
“The issue is not about the technical bench but about the support they get. We need to have a clear plan on how to get back to the top.
“If we do not get that plan right, it will be very difficult to get back to the top. We need to play in tournaments. We need to play and develop the players.”
Weru believes Kenya has enough talent which needs good support to flourish.
“What I am confident in is that we have the right crop of players. We have the players and I hope we can support them as much as we can, but it is going to be a long, long journey back to the top,” he added.
Oilers are currently taking part in the Christie Sevens in Nairobi this weekend.
