Kenyatta University’s Blak Blad head coach Benard Rotich has named his side to take on Kisumu RFC at the Mamboleo Stadium on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
The match is of significance to both the teams this season with the previous meeting in Kisumu last season being abandoned in later stages.
Blak Blad vs Kisumu
The fixtures committee ruled for a replay in Nakuru but it did not happen as Kisumu dished a walk over. As they meet this season, it will be a crucial match for Kisumu as they chase safety and have won their two matches at home this season while Blad are off a record win in Kenya Cup over South Coast Pirates.
Collins Obure, Brian Shule and Brian Kidake start in the front row. In the second row, Rodgers Okoth and Biko Steve will form the pairing with Lowell Mwanika and Obat Kuke being the blind and open side flankers. Randy Wamah is the eighth man.
