Mutai has heaped praise on Harlequin’s new kid on the block Cornelius Mokoro, with more superlatives from another supporter coming his way.
Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) chairman Alexander ‘Sasha’ Mutai has heaped praise on Kenya Harlequin scrum-half Cornelius Mokoro following a stellar start to his Kenya Cup career.
Mokoro was arguably the Man of the Match as Harlequin smashed Mwamba 40-10, with the diminutive number nine getting a hand in two smartly taken tries.
The former Chipu and Morans player started by playing for Harlequin’s Eric Shirley Shield (ESS) side, but was promoted to the senior team and made his debut against Homeboyz earlier this month, but has displayed the maturity of a player 10 years his senior.
