Blak Blad were handed a workover as their opponents failed to show up for the game.
Mushila was full of praise for the boys whom he says picked themselves up after the untimely exit in the Kenya Cup 21/22 semi-finals.
“The confidence level in the squad is through the roof. We expect them to show their character and composure as this match is not going to be easy,” he said.
Only six teams will be in action this weekend. According to Kenya Rugby Union, Mwamba Rugby Club have withdrawn from the competition and this means Homeboyz have qualified for the semi-final.
Scrum-half and this season’s sensation Samuel Asati on his side reckon they intend to capitalize on the first 20 minutes of the game to destabilize their opponents and gather as many points as possible.
The bankers have been handed a timely boost as Hooker James Ochieng is back in full training after missing a couple of matches due to injury.
