The Samurai squad is a blend of established internationals and upcoming players that once played the Kenyan side in 2021 at Nyayo National Stadium.
This was another chance for Safari 7s to host the match and to make a comeback at the RFUEA Ground.
The Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) had confirmed the 25th edition of the tournament to be hosted at its original venue on Ngong Road.
Asserting that during the tournament's official media launch at the Pride Inn Azure Hotel in Nairobi two weeks ago, KRU Chairman Oduor Gangla said, the game was to resume at its home ground.
"Anyone who's been to a rugby match in Kenya knows that there is no place like the RFUEA. We wanted to go back to that environment, and make it fun, make it enjoyable, and competitive. We have 12 men and 6 women teams as well as the age grade and vets (0ver 35) categories. It will be a great weekend of rugby," said Gangla.
KRU Vice Chairman Moses Ndale, who doubles up as the Safari Sevens Organizing Committee Chairman appealed to funs to turn up in large numbers to support the team.
"We want to request the fans to show up in numbers for a great weekend of rugby. We will be revealing the participating teams and ticketing details in subsequent communications," said Ndale.
