The rest of the backline is unchanged with Samuel Asati at scrum-half, Brian Wahinya at fly-half and Darwin Mukidza at fullback.
In the forwards, there will be four changes, with Griffin Musila moving to the bench. Wilfred Waswa will start as hooker alongside props Oscar Simiyu and Curtis Lilako.
Martin Owila will be replaced by Davis Chenge, who will partner with Elvis Olukusi in the second row. Andrew Amonde and Felix Ojow will come in for Steve Wamai and Bramwel Kilwake.
