Kabras RFC have made four changes to their starting line-up as head coach Carlos Katywa returns to the dugout ahead of their Kenya Cup clash against Nakuru RFC at the Nakuru Athletics Club this Saturday.
The first change comes in the front row, where Asuman Mugerwa starts at tight-head prop in place of Hillary Mwanjilwa, who drops out of the Kenya Cup matchday squad this weekend. Mugerwa will pack down alongside Edward Mwaura and Teddy Akala, who both retain their places following the win over Strathmore Leos.
In the second row, Hillary Odhiambo continues at lock and is joined by Patrick Sabatia. Sabatia shifts from number eight to the bench this week, while the back row sees George Nyambua start on the flank alongside William Mwanji, with Jeanson Misoga returning to the starting XV at number eight.

Barry Young retains his role at scrum-half, while Eric Cantona moves into the fly-half position after featuring primarily at fullback this season. Walter Okoth is back in the midfield as he return where he once called home and he is joined by Mathias Osimbo to form their partnership in midfield, with Derrick Ashihundu and Jackson Siketi named in the squad . Alfred Orege slots in at left wing.
On the bench, Emmanuel Otieno is set to make his first Kenya Cup appearance of the season, while Mike Lukusi earns a chance to make a senior appearance for his boyhood club. Patrick Kluivert is also included among the replacements.
