By AYUMBA AYODIMore by this AuthorKenya Simbas coach Ian Snook has described the 2019 Rugby World Cup Repechage qualifier as an eye-opener to the low standards of 15s rugby in the country. Canada become the last country to qualify for next year's Rugby World Cup in Japan after beating Hong Kong 27-10 to win the Repechage tournament unbeaten. Germany finished second after recording a bonus-point victory over Kenya as Hong Kong finished third with Kenya last. Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) chairman Richard Omwela admitted that Kenya was not ready for such a high magnitude championship. Omwela said we can’t dream of featuring at the World Cup yet we can’t beat Namibia and Zimbabwe comprehensively.
