Kabras RFC Head Coach Carlos Katywa has made nine changes to his starting lineup against South Coast Pirates at Seacrest Grounds in Ukunda on Saturday.
Only six players who started against Impala have been retained, with 10 Kenya Simbas internationals named to make their first appearance of the season.

Hillary Odhiambo, back from international duty with Kenya Simbas, is in the starting lineup to partner with Clinton Litali, who retains his role as Patrick Lumumba steps out.
Collins Indeche, who had an impressive outing last week and scored a try, keeps his place, while skipper George Nyambua and Jeanson Misoga return after winning the Elgon Cup with the Simbas a fortnight ago.
