Shujaa will open their campaign against powerhouses South Africa today at the Dubai Sevens. Kenya will then complete their pool fixtures tomorrow against England (12:26 pm) and wind up their preliminary pool matches against Spain at 6:32 pm. This time round a confident Kenya outfit has had an extensive pre-season which culminated in them winning the Africa Cup Sevens in South Africa and qualifying for the Olympic Games next year and winning the Safari sevens after beating South Africa 19-7 in the final at the RFUEA ground. Kenya and South Africa clashed twice last season with the Blitzbokke winning both encounters 29-10 in Cape Town and 29-12 in Paris. The team arrived in Dubai on Sunday and have had three days of light training which included the Captain's Run yesterday.
