Kabras Sugar have been boosted by the return of eight players who were away with the national rugby teams Kenya Sambas and Kenya Sevens ahead of their crucial Kenya Cup match against Mwamba to be played at Kakamega Showground on Saturday.
The sugar millers were missing the services of Brian Tanga, Fijian star Jone Kube, George Nyambua, Eugene Sifuna, Brian Juma, captain Dan Sikuta and Barry Robinson who were away with Simbas during the South Africa tour.
Kenya Sevens youngster Kevin Wekesa also joins the team after debuting for Kenya at the Dubai Sevens.
The sugar men are currently top of the log with 10 points after recording big wins against Nakuru and Kenyatta University’s Blak Blad.
The eight joining camp saw Kabras head coach Jerome Muller make 10 changes to the starting squad.
Tanga returns to partner with South African Ntabeni Dukisa in the backline as Habil Malik also plays alongside new signing Vuyo Mbotho.
In the wings, Derrick Ashihundu and Willam Opaka have also been introduced in place of Paul Abuto and Felix Ayange as s Emmanuel Were and Eugene Sifuna command the front row.
The second row will see Shem Angugo partner with Brian Juma as Wekesa and Nyambua replace Thomas Simiyu and Jeanson Musoga. Former Mwamba star Steve Sikuta will also start against his former club.
Muller has also handed the captaincy to Nyambua with Sikuta starting from the bench alongside Kubu.
