The British side showcased sharp attacking play and a solid defence, keeping Kenya at bay in the match.
France: Shujaa also faced France in Vancouver, where they initially showed promise by scoring an early try. However, they struggled to maintain their lead and were eventually overpowered, losing 33-7.
Kenya will need to regroup and improve their performance if they are to make an impact in Hong Kong and climb the overall standings.
