Kenya Harlequin have unveiled their starting XV for the Kenya Cup encounter against KCB Rugby at KCB Sports Club at 4:00 p.m.

The front row is anchored by Mohammed Khaidar, George Otieno, and Nathanial Mwangi, a unit expected to battle the physical demands of KCB’s powerful pack. In the second row, Micheal Onsando partners Vincent Omondi.

Harlequin’s back row has Matthew Ouma and Albert Alela line up on the flanks, while captain Jeff Kiragu.  At half-back, vice-captain Patrick Wainaina starts at scrum-half, linking play and setting tempo, with fellow vice-captain Faran Juma trusted to steer the side from fly-half.

Michael Ochieng Jnr. and David Mwangi take up the wing positions, while Douglas Kahuri and Alvin Mutachi combine in midfield. Franklin Mukaisi completes the starting XV at fullback.

EDITOR’S PICKS:

The impact bench offers depth and versatility, with Veteran Philip Ikambili, Jaika Adams, and Denzel Odando covering the front row. Bradley Odero and Willy Tino add forward reinforcements, while Hillary Masiva, Jan Remke, and Wycliffe Ratemo provide options across the backline.

The technical bench is led by head coach Patrice Agunda, assisted by Simon Odongo, Eden Agero, and Oliver Mangeni, with William Ambaka overseeing strength and conditioning. Gerald Omondi will handle physiotherapy duties, while Wayne Mung’ei serves as team manager.
