Kenya Simbas coach Ian Snook is looking forward to a physical, but exciting game as the national 15s team begin the Rugby Africa Gold Cup cum World Cup qualifiers campaign today at 7pm in Casablanca, Morocco.

Though the New Zealander, who replaced South African Jerome Paarwater in April, made a winning debut in Simbas’ 34-16 over Uganda in last month’s Elgon Cup, he is wary of the threat posed by a physical North African side.
