Kabras RFC forwards coach Max Adaka has named his squad for Friday’s Kenya Cup fixture against Strathmore Leos at Kakamega Showground at 4:00 p.m.

The match was moved forward to allow student players to attend Felix Ouma’s burial on Saturday. The coach has made seven changes and positional switches from the team that faced Kisumu last weekend.

Ephrahim Oduor, Eugine Sifuna and Asuman Mugerwa drop to the bench while Edward Mwaura, Teddy Akala and Hillary Mwanjilwa start.

Hillary Odhiambo returns to partner David Bunduki in the second row as Patrick Sabatia moves to number eight. Jeanson Misoga is on the bench. Veteran George Nyambua joins William Mwanji in the back row.

EDITOR’S PICKS:

Following the absence of Roy Maruti, Barry Young starts at scrum-half while Walter Okoth plays fly-half for the first time. Patrick Kluivert makes his Kenya Cup debut for Kabras and partners Valerian Tendwa in midfield.

The back three features Alfred Orege, Mathias Osimbo and Eric Cantona, who scored four tries against Kisumu. Victor Otieno and Collins Indeche are on the bench while Brian Kiptanui returns after scoring off the bench last week.
