KCB Rugby head coach Curtis Olago has unveiled his squad against Strathmore Leos in a match that will double up as the second edition of Di Baddest Cup set for KCB Sports Club on Saturday at 3:00 p.m
The Di Baddest Cup is meant to honour Jerry Olola who played for both sides. The first edition was held last year with KCB taking the bragging rights after winning 33-18.
