News Just In: Kenya are through to the main cup
quarters at the Rugby World Cup Sevens after edging Samoa 17-12 in a
Pool C decider at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on Saturday 29 June
2013.
Humphrey Kayange put Kenya ahead,
spotting a gap and scoring close to the posts, Biko Adema missing the
ensuing conversion. Kenya would continue bossing Samoa at the break
down, keeping possession and denying their opponents any breathing
space.
Willy Ambaka would extend Kenya's lead,
racing the length of the field to score at the corner with Adema
converting for a 12-0 lead at half time.
The side would get their foot off the
gas pedal,allowing Samoa to come back courtesy of Lio Lulu's brace of
tries and Alatasi Tupou's sole conversion and it seemed like the match
was slipping away from the Kenyans as they ceded possession and ground.
They would however regroup, eating into
Samoan territory and substitute Mike Wanjala's try at the death earned
them the quarter final ticket by virtue of topping Pool C. Kenya will
know their quarter final opponents at the close of group play later
today. (Kenya Rugby Union).
