Following a fierce showdown in Nairobi, the Kenya Sevens team is rigorously fine-tuning its breakdown efficiency and offensive decision-making for the upcoming Challenger Series in Uruguay and Brazil.
Head coach Kevin Wambua is demanding absolute precision at the breakdown area after Shujaa's narrow 21-5 defeat to the United States. The squad has retreated to a high-intensity residential camp to recalibrate.
Qualification for the elite World Rugby Sevens Series hangs in the balance. With the South American leg fast approaching, fixing tactical blind spots is no longer optional—it is the definitive margin between promotion and stagnation.
Despite an otherwise stellar performance that saw Shujaa dispatch Canada, Belgium, Germany, and Uruguay, the final match exposed critical vulnerabilities. Wambua pinpointed an over-commitment of personnel at the tackle area as the primary tactical flaw.
This inefficiency at the breakdown created defensive gaps that the American side ruthlessly exploited. Furthermore, offensive impatience and a lack of ball retention directly contributed to missed scoring opportunities inside the opposition's 22-meter line.
To address these systemic errors, the technical bench has scheduled a grueling one-week residential camp. The training regimen is specifically engineered to simulate high-pressure match scenarios and enhance split-second decision-making.
The objective is to ensure that the team is firing on all cylinders when they touch down in South America. The technical staff will utilize the final week prior to departure for crucial, lightweight tactical tweaks.
The squad remains highly optimistic despite the third-place finish on home soil. The structural foundation of the team is solid, and the necessary adjustments are strictly operational rather than systemic.
"There are positives we can take from the opener. We are going to polish that aspect to ensure that come the next leg, we are firing," affirmed co-captain George Ooro, looking ahead to the ultimate qualification prize.
