Kenya’s Shujaa will fight to keep their Vancouver Sevens campaign alive when they take on Great Britain at 10:58 PM EAT today. The national sevens team has endured a tough start, suffering back-to-back defeats against Argentina and France in the pool stage.

Shujaa opened their campaign with a 24-0 loss to Argentina, who dominated possession and controlled the tempo from the outset. The Kenyan side struggled to find their rhythm, with handling errors and defensive lapses proving costly. Despite a few promising breaks, they failed to capitalise on scoring opportunities, allowing Argentina to seal a comfortable victory.

Their second match against France showed signs of improvement, with Odongo crossing the try line to register Shujaa’s first points in the tournament. Tony successfully added the conversion, briefly lifting the team’s spirits. However, France quickly reasserted control, punishing errors and executing their attacks efficiently to claim a 33-7 win.

With two losses, Shujaa now face a must-win clash against Great Britain. Victory is their only chance of advancing, while another defeat will confirm their early exit from the tournament.
