Kabras RFC head coach Carlos Katywa has made four changes to the squad for the upcoming match against Catholic Monks at Kakamega Showground on Saturday at 3 p.m.
The starting lineup will now include winger Griffin Chao, who earns his first start for the Kenya Cup side after showcasing impressive performances in the 7s circuit following his move from MMUST. Chao made a cameo debut last weekend, scoring against Nondies. He will join Ntabeni Dukisa at fullback and Lamec Ambetsa on the left side.
