Shujaa have learned when they will make their Safari Sevens title defence while there will be a new tournament on the National Sevens Circuit roster.
This year’s edition of the Safari Sevens will take place from October 11-13 at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi.
In what will be a second straight year since the tournament returned following a three-year break, Kenya Rugby Union hopes for a bigger event than that witnessed in 2023 when fans did not turn out in large numbers as it was expected.
Shujaa are the defending champions of the Safari Sevens tournament after Patrick Odongo inspired them to the title with two tries as they thrashed Samurai 19-0 in the final.
