World Rugby U20 Trophy: Chipu to Face Zimbabwe in the Fifth Position Play Offs

The Kenya rugby under 20 team is set to face off against Zimbabwe in the 5th place play in the ongoing World Rugby Under 20 Trophy.

Led by coach Curtis Olago, the team secured a victory in their last pool match, defeating Hong Kong with a score of 22-16.

This upcoming match will be a rematch of the Barthes Cup final, where Kenya suffered a loss against Zimbabwe. Coach Olago aims for an improved performance from the boys this time around, focusing on enhancing their structures, game attack, defence, and overall maturity.

Chipu captain Michael Wamalwa sees this match as a grudge match, determined to secure a victory and claim 5th place in the World Rugby Under 20 Trophy.

He emphasizes the team’s focus on improving their defence, which was a key factor in their previous encounter with Zimbabwe.

Both teams have won a single match in their respective pools and are eager to end their campaign with a victory.

The match is scheduled to take place on Sunday at 12 pm at the Nyayo National Stadium. Fans are encouraged to come out and support the team in this crucial match.
