It’s time to invest in women’s rugby

With Kenya Lionesses’ great performance at the Hong Kong Sevens, it is time for the Kenya Rugby Union and other stakeholders to invest heavily in the women’s game. Although the Lionesses lifted their first ever Rugby Africa Women’s Sevens Cup in May 2018, the team has since struggled in its preparation. But it is high time it is accorded the same treatment as their male counterparts whose season however seems to have taken a nose-dive.

The Lionesses reached their second consecutive Women Sevens Series Qualifiers in Hong Kong yesterday, only for their qualification dreams to be shattered after losing 17-5 to eventual champions Brazil.
