Kenya's sevens rugby team must win over disappointed fans

Fans are running out of patience with the Kenya rugby team. Indeed, Kenyans expect nothing short of victory when the Sevens squad goes back to the hallowed grounds of Singapore this weekend. Singapore is where the team secured its first ever victory in a leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series, and it is also where it must stop a string of losses in this competition.

The team has had a pretty unimpressive run so far and is lying eleventh in the 19-team competition. It is now quite apparent that the repeated meddling of the starting line-up has left the team disjointed during some of the games that have been played since the new season began. It is also increasingly looking like the team has not jelled under coach Innocent Simiyu, appointed earlier in the season.
