The national under-20 side defeated archrivals Namibia 24-13 on Wednesday evening at Nyayo Stadium to sail through to the finals where they will face off against defending champions Zimbabwe.

Against Namibia, Kenya came from 3-0 down to lead 7-3 at the break before the South African nation took a 10-7 lead after the restart. Chipu would respond again to win 24-13.
Eddy Wambugu, Raymond Chacha, Patrick Wainaina and Edmond Omondi scored Kenya's tries as they avenged their 16-6 defeat to Namibia last year in the semifinals.
Chipu will now face off against Zimbabwe on Saturday.
