Kenya Sevens coach Benjamin Ayimba has called up Strathmore Leos duo of Billy Odhiambo and Alex Olaba ahead of the nation’s last two legs of the 2015/16 HSBC Sevens World Series in Paris and London.
Odhiambo and Olaba replace Alvin Otieno and Samuel Motari as Kenya look forward to another triumph on the world stage after claiming the Singapore Sevens.
Ayimba says the main purpose of the rejuvenation is to prepare for the summer Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil.
“We are using these two tournaments to further sharpen our skills with the Rio Olympics in mind,” he told Kenya Rugby Union.
The squad heads for the French capital on Sunday 8 May, pooled in group A with New Zealand, Portugal and Russia.
