KCB Rugby head coach Dennis Mwanja has made several changes to his squad for the Christie 7s title chase at the RFUEA Grounds on Saturday and Sunday.
The squad features the introduction of former Kabras RFC and promising Kenya Under 20 winger Branton Lusisa, who was signed in the recently concluded transfer window. Lusisa is set to make his maiden appearance in the National 7s Circuit.

He is joined by George Ooro, returning after missing the Prinsloo 7s due to injury, Michael Wekesa, who will be making his second appearance after skipping the Nakuru leg, and Stephen Osumba.
The rest of the squad remains intact, with Tyson Maina, Lionel Ajeleti, and Dominic Sande making way for the new inclusions. Leading National 7s Circuit top try scorer Floyd Wabwire, alongside Kenya 7s stars Vincent Onyala, Festus Shiasi, and Samuel Asati, headline the squad.
