Kenya Sevens hit Wales, drop to Challenge Trophy
Action between Kenya and Madagascar during their Africa Sevens Pool 'A' match at Kyadondo Rugby Ground in Kampala on April 24, 2022.
Herman Humwa drilled down a brace of tries as Kenya Shujaa salvaged some pride, beating Wales 19-14 in their last Pool “B” match of Toulouse Sevens at Stade Ernest-Wallon, France on Saturday.
However, the victory was all in vain as Kenya Sevens once again missed out on the main Cup to slump to the Challenge Trophy quarter-finals.
This is after they lost to Olympic champions Fiji and France 29-5 and 38-14 respectively the previous day.
Humwa landed before Anthony Omondi converted to give Shujaa a 7-0 lead but Ewan Rosser struck back for Wales with Tom Williams adding the extras to level 7-7.
Humwa sealed his double with Omondi converting to retake the lead 14-7 at the break.
Then Billy “The Kid” Odhiambo crossed the white chalk for Shujaa to put the match beyond reach even as Luke Treharne pulled a try for Wales.
Nelson Oyoo and Alvin Otieno scored a try each to put Shujaa 14-12 ahead at the break but France capitalised on missed tackles and poor defence to turn around the match.
