Shujaa, the national rugby sevens team have failed to make any main cup quarterfinals of IRB World Rugby sevens series in London and Paris fighting relegation.
The Paul Murunga led charges will this weekend fight tom remain on top of the series when they tackle their opponents at London7s at Twickenham.
With 26 points from eight tournaments a point ahead of Wales and Japan’s 22, then the team that finishes last will get relegated and replaced by World Seven Series qualifiers, Ireland, next season.
If relegated, Shujaa will have to go through regional Sevens tournaments then head to Hong Kong 7s for the qualifying tournament, featuring champions and runners up from other continents.
In the last series meetings, pay dispute between senior players and the union over reduced salaries at the start of the campaign saw 15 players sit out the first six legs of the season.
The team did not have an intensive pre-season, where the players are put through a rigorous set of fitness and conditioning in order to be ready for the World Sevens series.
But the deal reached between the union and some of the senior players in March and this saw former skipper Andrew Amonde, Eden Agero, Jeff Oluoch, Dan Sikuta and winger Nelson Oyoo return to the squad for the final four legs of the series but Collins Injera, Willy Ambaka and Billy Odhiambo have opted not to play for the side and may return during the Olympic Sevens qualifiers in November in South Africa.
Murunga named: Vincent Onyala, Andrew Amonde, Bush Mwale, Daniel Sikuta, Charles Omondi, Eden Agero, Daniel Taabu, Jacob Ojee, Cyprian Kuto, Jeffrey Oluoch, Nelson Oyoo, Johnstone Olindi, Brian Wandera.
