University of Nairobi's Mean Machine took a huge stride towards Kenya Cup promotion after thrashing Egerton Wasps 37-0 in a KRU Championship playoff on Saturday. 

Despite not having played competitive rugby since March last year, Machine, who are seeking to return to the top tier after relegation in 2019, barely showed any rustiness as they sailed through to next weekend's semi-final where they will travel to Kakamega to face Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST).
