Wambua has named the two Moran players who left a positive impression on him for future Shujaa call ups at the Safari Sevens.
Shujaa head coach Kevin Wambua has revealed the two players from the Morans setup that impressed him the most during the recently concluded Safari Sevens tournament that Kenya 7s successfully retained.
Wambua named two different squads for both Kenyan teams, Shujaa and Morans for the tournament. Shujaa comprised the more established names in Kenyan rugby while the Morans set-up consisted of young upcoming players itching to make an impression.
Although Shujaa managed to win the title quite comfortably, Morans had to do with a fifth-place finish after failing to make the semi-finals.
