Kenya Sevens captain Andrew Amonde expects a tough but exciting Day One of the Paris Sevens, the ninth round of the 2016/17 HSBC Sevens World Series, at the Stade Jean-Bouin this afternoon.

Shujaa, who lie in eleventh place on the log with 57 points, have been drawn in Pool C alongside familiar foes France, England, the Cape Town and Vancouver Sevens champions, and invitational side Spain.
