It is back and with a bang. Pomp and colour marked the opening of the fourth edition of the Masaku Sevens International Rugby tournament slated for June 30-July 5 in Machakos County, which was flagged-off by The Nairobian Managing Editor Charles Otieno and The Standard Group’s Head of Marketing Doreen Mbaya, at the media house’s head office in Nairobi, yesterday.

The colorful event saw the flagging off of a caravan of mini cars signifying the launch of the highly-hyped rugby festival which has attracted over 65 teams.
