KRU unveils provisional Shujaa and Morans squad

The Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) has announced the provisional squad for both national 7s and 15s teams after the curtain falls on the National Sevens Circuit 2025.

After six legs across five cities, the 2025 National Sevens Circuit has come to a close with KCB Rugby named champions. This year’s tournament showcased the finest of Kenya’s rugby talent, with unforgettable action and the unearthing of new stars destined for the national stage.

Following the end of the 2025 National Sevens Circuit, Shujaa head coach Kevin Wambua and the chairman of selectors, Elijah Toili, on Friday, September 19, 2025, named a provisional squad of 48 players who will now embark on the next critical phase of their rugby journey.

This group represents the top performers and promising prospects identified throughout the circuit, forming part of the feeder program for Kenya’s senior sevens teams -Shujaa and Morans.

The squad will officially enter its next phase on Monday, September 22, 2025, at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi. This process is designed to test the players’ skills, fitness, and game awareness. It is also meant to instil the discipline and resilience required at the highest level of international sevens rugby.

Paul Odera speaks on the selection

“This is an exciting time for the men’s team as Shujaa prepare for the 2025-2026 International Sevens season. The provisional squad is an excellent blend of youth and experience. I am pleased to see that the selectors and head coach have recognised the performance of players from a broad spectrum of clubs who participated in the National Sevens Circuit.

“Getting a call-up is just the first step; the hard work is impressing the coach at training over the next week to make the final squad. My expectations is that the process will give us a squad capable of getting Kenya a place in the top division of the HSBC sevens circuit. Secondly, we will be able to select a U20 7s squad for the very first time to give a pathway to our young players’ journey to the Shujaa and Morans teams,” said Paul Odera, Director of Rugby and Pathway Manager, Kenya Rugby Union.
