Kabras RFC head coach Carlos Kaytwa continues with his squad rotation and has recalled 10 senior players to play Mwamba RFC at Kakamega Showground at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday.
The first change sees new signing Edward Mwaura pave the way for Ephraim Oduor who joins Emmanuel Otieno and Eugene Sifuna in the front row.
Kabras RFC second-row
The second row is unchanged with David Bunduki and Brian Juma being retained for the second year in a row.
There are two changes where eighth man Jeanson Misoga and skipper George Nyambua return to form the back row alongside Patrick Lumumba who started last weekend.
In the absence of Barry Robinson and Dan Angwech, Kabras have recalled Brian Tanga who returns after winning the Challenger Series opener in Dubai last weekend.
He will partner with South African fly-half Ntabeni Dukisa who returns to the starting line-up after missing out last weekend. He is back at 10 after also starting the first three matches at fullback.
