KCB Rugby head coach Curtis Olago has named his men that will be out to face off with varsity side Blak Blad in what is a Thika road derby in a match that will be staged in Ruaraka.
Kenyan international Samuel Asati, who was instrumental in KCB’s last weekend win over Nakuru RFC, will get his first start of the year.
Captain Griffin Musila will lead the front row being the hooker with Oscar Simiyu and Wilhite Mususi being the loose head and tight head props respectively.
We will have a new pairing in the second row as Andy Cole drops to the bench to pave way for Emmanuel Silungi who pairs with Davis Chenge.
Elvis Olukusi is the blind side flanker with Felix Ojow coming in as the open side flanker. Peter Waitere maintains his number 8 jersey.
Asati gets his first start of the year coming in the place of Emmanuel Opondo. Brian Wahinya maintains the 10 jersey.
Bob Muhati and Shujaa captain Vincent Onyala will partner in the midfield as inside and outside centres.
The back three has Michael Kimwele and Darwin Mukidza who shifts from fullback to the wing as left and right wingers respectively. Lionel Ajeliti gets to start against his former side at fullback.
