Impala Rugby have named their matchday squad ahead of their clash against Blak Blad scheduled for Saturday, 28 March 2026 at Blad Bin, kick-off set for 3:00 PM.

The side will be captained by Tyson Okoth, who anchors the second row and provides leadership in what is expected to be a competitive encounter. He is partnered by Leon Onduso in the engine room, while the back row features Victor Imela, Bonface Oigot and Billy Arigi, offering a balance of physicality and mobility.

Up front, the front row of Warren Aharanga, Onesmus Kinyanjui and Tariq Ngige will be tasked with setting the platform, as Impala look to dominate the set pieces early.

EDITOR’S PICKS:

In the backs, Michael Omwaga starts at scrum-half, linking up with Patrick Mutuku at fly-half to steer the attack. The midfield pairing of Derrick Kinyari and Israel Soi will look to control territory and create opportunities, while Quinto Ongo and Sultan Mikael occupy the wings. Meshack Andale slots in at fullback to complete the starting XV.

On the bench, Impala have named a well-balanced group that includes Dalvin Mwangi and Brian Ochieng, who could provide impact in the forwards, while Richard Asante and Kuria Karanja offer options in the backline.
