It is a try! A big try for that matter for the Kenyan Rugby Union if, as expected, today’s press briefing will be attended by Safaricom's top brass, who barely four months ago severed ties with the KRU.

It will be the greatest coup yet by the new KRU boss, Richard Omwela, who appears to have also got the better of National Rugby Sevens team senior players by letting their contracts run out on July 31.
