Kenya Harlequin Head Coach, Paul Murunga, has named his squad for their upcoming match against Kabras RFC at RFUEA Grounds on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
Murunga has retained the front row that faced Kabras in the Enterprise Cup, with Dessaily Wafula, George Otieno, and Able Matanda once again in the starting lineup.

There are changes in the second row, with Toulemonte Thibout and Emmanuel Mavala being recalled to the starting squad after missing the Enterprise Cup trip to Kakamega last weekend.
In the back row, Charlton Mokua and Bill Abuom have kept their spots, while captain Sheldon Kahi moves from the second row to the back row for this match.

Kenya U20 internationals Patrick Wainaina and Faran Juma will once again pair up at nine and ten. Paul Mutsami will partner with Dave Mwangi, while Jan Remke misses out after impressing in their previous encounter.
Leonard Fogang will remain on the left wing, and Charles Kinyanjui, who missed the Kabras match last weekend, returns to play on the open side. Leeon Nyang will start at full-back, and Lucky Dewald also returns to the 23-man squad.
With three consecutive losses in the Kenya Cup, Harlequins will be eager to break their losing streak and avoid slipping further down the table.
