Blak Blad have announced their squad for the Kenya Cup encounter that will face Nakuru RFC at Nakuru AThletic Grounds on Saturdaty.
Mwanika Lowell, Shile Brian, and Kidake Brian take charge of the front row, filling the loosehead prop, hooker, and tighthead prop roles respectively.
Njiraini David and Juma Njenga slot in as the two locks. The back row is completed by Obare Edwin on the blindside flank, Steve Odhiambo on the openside flank, and Obat Kuke at number eight.
Behind them, the half-back pairing draws from the remaining squad, with Benjamin Siso directing play at scrum-half and Enock Oduor handling fly-half duties. Bryson Ogamba and David Odhiambo cover the midfield at inside and outside centre.
