Kenya rugby7s team Shujaa registered dismal performance at the second leg of HSBC World Rugby series held this weekend in Cape Town, South Africa.
The Innocent Simiyu charges dropped four places to 11th in the World Rugby Sevens Series standings after finishing 7th in Dubai7s opener.
Kenya only won one match against neighbours Uganda 24-14 to collect three points and finish a poor 13th at the Cape Town Sevens on Sunday.
Daniel Sikuta and Jeff Oluoch scored a try each from immense power as Brian Tanga converted to see “Shujaa” take an early advantage at half-time.
Kenya had, earlier in the semi-finals, beaten Scotland 33-12 with a brace of tries from Tanga with Muregi, Oluoch and Nelson Oyoo contributing one try each. Kenya’s fortunes dwindled in the second leg of the World Sevens Series when they lost to Samoa 19-17 in the Challenge Trophy quarter-finals.
Tries from Samuel Oliech, Dan Sikuta and Jeff Oluoch failed to rescue the casual “Shujaa” side from the defeat by the Samoans who scored three tries and two conversions. Tomasi Alosio, Joe Perez and Alatasi Tupou scored for Samoa as Tupou romped with the conversions that made the difference.
