As the popularity of the game increases due to the exploits of our national seven-a-side team we must not forget that sevens isn't the main version of the game and for use to be called a rugby nation we should improve and pay attention in 15's. we have focused on sevens at the expense of 15s.
It is a fact that we will be watching the world cup in New Zealand next year from the sidelines but as we watch the matches let us put our sights in qualifying for the one to be held in 2015. Going by the humiliation we were given by Mpalanga there is a lot we have to work on.
Over the just ended season there was an emergance of young and very talented players in all the clubs.
These young players should be mentored for the next four years and give adequate preparation to
make mistakes,learn from them and correct them as they lead us to the world cup 2015.
The idea of sticking with the same players because we are afraid of giving the young and untested a chance is what leads to lack of improvement in our game since the veterans are not being put under pressure to work hard to retain their jerseys least someone replaces them.
The mantle is not only for krfu but also the clubs who should be scouting for talent and then nurture them to become the very best.
Kenya can only go to the next level in playing rugby if the union,clubs and sponsors work together with the players to make rugby professional.
