Kisii RFC head coach Lee Arstone has made several changes to the squad ahead of their match against Homabay on Saturday.
With several players unavailable due to their participation in the KUSA games at Pwani University, the team will be missing key players.
In the front row, Collins Mokaya retains his position as the loosehead prop, while Duncan Bosire and Emmanuel Amecha earn their first starts of the season.
Lyod Otiso makes his debut in the second row, partnering with Cyrus Ombati. Ahmed Ismael takes on the role of blind side flanker, with Fortune Njagwa making his debut in the position. Bob Onchong’a captains the team from the number eight position.
Amos Omariba fills in for Ramadhan Mohammed at scrumhalf, while Valentine Odoyo continues at fly-half. Victor Gichana moves to the left wing, and Frank Ondiere takes over as the right winger.
Brian Ndege and Douglas Ochako form a new partnership in the midfield as inside and outside centres, respectively. Walter Aiko rounds out the lineup as the fullback.
