Kenya sevens rugby team, Shujaa, has its work cut out this week when it takes on Fiji, Wales and Canada in the HSBC Sevens World Series.
The setting is Toulouse in France after which the 15 participating teams will head to the penultimate round in London followed by a two-month break ahead of Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Shujaa will be under the tutelage of newly-hired Head Coach Damian McGrath who was unveiled on Saturday at the RFUEA grounds.
McGrath who has had stints with England, Samoa, Canada and Germany Sevens teams said his charges are focused on ruffling feathers in the event.
He expressed gratitude to the players grabbing his philosophy pretty fast and especially on the basics of the game.
“My doctrine revolves around getting the basics right and as a coach; I’m happy the players are trying to perfect it and pretty soon they will be home and dry,’’saidMcGrath.
