Kenya Sevens coach Innocent Simiyu has defended his team’s performance despite their poor results in the final two legs of the 2016/17 HSBC World Rugby IRB Series.

This undoubtedly is one of Kenya’s worst outings in the Series so far. Shujaa got only one point in the ninth leg in Paris, before bagging five points in last weekend’s London Sevens.
