Daystar Falcons have made several changes to their lineup ahead of their Impala Floodlit clash against USIU slated for Saturday at 10:00 am.
Captain Geylord Ngasi retains his spot at loosehead prop, alongside Ezekiel Omeno and Ted Okwaro, who also started last weekend. Meshack Ochieng, who featured in the second row last time out, drops to the bench with Wilson Otieno stepping into the starting lock position.
Gavan Lebai, Steven Muhoto, and Randy Otuoma maintain their places in the pack, though Otuoma, who was marked as a debutant last week, now starts as an established flanker. Emmanuel Marakha replaces Clinton Amukwachi at number eight.
