Kenya's national rugby sevens team hopes to quickly shift focus to the World Sevens Series' season opener in Dubai next month, after excelling at the Africa Sevens tournament in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Dubai Sevens marks the start of this season's men's competition, as well as the race for Olympic glory, as rugby sevens prepares to make its second appearance at the Olympic Games at Tokyo 2020.
