Having made a name for himself while representing the Kenya Sevens team on numerous occasions, Dennis Ombachi needs no introduction within local rugby circles. 

Ombachi, who plays for Kenya’s oldest rugby club Nondescripts, is credited with sending the national Sevens side to its maiden Olympic Games in 2016 after scoring a last minute try to help Kenya beat Zimbabwe in the qualifier.
