As curtains fell in Sydney Seven Series, on Sunday 5th of February, Kenya was left languishing in the 14th position in the fourth leg of the World Series.

On Saturday as the tournament kicked off, Innocent Simiyu’s men managed a single win over Japan, after losing their first two matches to England and South Africa in pool A.

 This made Kenya qualify for the Challenge Cup for the second consecutive time, after doing so in Wellington.

Russia whipped Kenya 22-0 in the Challenge Cup but found a jiffy redemption after beating Scotland 19-7 before losing to Canada in the playoffs.

These results have seen Kenya dropping one place to 11th with 27 points, piling pressure, particularly from the fans as they demand finer results.

 This is arguably the worst performance this season after gathering two points only.

South Africa was crowned champions for the third time this season: after winning in Dubai and Wellington Sevens.

The final was a replica of Cape Town Sevens where England won. This time the Blitzbokkes responded with a 29-14 revenge.
