The Kenya Rugby Union has made changes to the Division 1 draw at the final leg of the 2022 National Sevens Circuit which will be hosted by Western Bulls at the Bull Ring in Kakamega on July 16 and 17.
Blak Blad replace Mwamba in Pool B. Mwamba pulled out of the final leg on Thursday following the death of their Team Manager Stephanie-Rose Otieno who died on Monday 11 July in a car crash.
William Motto’s side managed 13th place last weekend after holding off Kisumu RFC.

KCB and Kabras in Pool D
Changes have also been made in Pool D where Kabarak University comes in to replace Impala Saracens and they join Kabras and KCB Rugby.
We will not be competing in the #kakamega7s this weekend due to unavoidable reasons. All the best to the teams participating in the tournament. Cheers!!!

Siaya take the place of Blak Blad in Pool A of the division two tournament while Western Bulls II are slotted in Pool E following Siaya’s transfer to Pool A.
Menengai Oilers celebrate after winning Prinsloo 7s. They will be keen to win Kakamega 7s to get the first 7s title.
Menengai Oilers are the current log leaders, and are followed closely by KCB Rugby.
This circuit has seen five different winners for the five circuits played. This weekend, fans will be eager to witness the last leg of this unpredictable circuit.
