Blak Blad have made notable adjustments to their squad ahead of their Floodlit semi-final encounter against Menengai Oilers at the Impala Club at 5:40 pm.
The front row remains unchanged, with Arthur Nyakundi, Brian Shile, and Moses Ayieko once again trusted to provide power and stability in the scrums. Rodgers Okoth keeps his place in the second row, but this time he partners with Steve Odhiambo, who drops back from number eight to lock.
Last weekend’s lock Phelemon Maroa and flanker David Kinyua are not part of the starting XV this time, with Peter Musyoki shifting alongside Barret R. Otieno and Obat Kuke, who takes over the captaincy duties at number eight.

In the backs, there’s consistency at halfback where Victor Wakhulinga and Enock Oduor continue to steer the game. Bryson Ogamba and Benjamin Rugar also retain their midfield pairing.
The back three sees David Odhiambo make way for Aden Noor, while Winstone Ayieko and Elvis Otete remain in their positions.
