The Rwanda rugby teams have been training for the preparation of this year's SAFARICOM 7's in Nairobi / Kenya.
The two teams, "Junior and Senior ", had two weeks preparations, where the Senior team was coached by Nsenga Gerald and Itanzi J Baptiste took the Juniors.
All the players look prepared and ready for the big day, especially the junior players because of their first trip representing their country,in the U20 tournament which will take place just before their elder defend their pride in the the big and entertaining tournament "the SAFARICOM 7'S" ,so the young boys looked focused , were really fit and organised as well as disciplined during the last training session at APE Rugunga ground.
They started a bit late ,but it was juniors that came earlier and started with some warm ups and ended up playing touch rugby and the senior players came after and joined them.
After playing like twenty minutes, the two teams did split players,so the juniors went on one side and the seniors on the other side.
It was touch rugby , just to cool down and to avoid injuries on both sides at the last moment.
Players were showing what they are capable of on both sides , what was really interesting today is that the senior players were not coordinating very well, but for the other side, i mean the juniors, they were outstanding!!! they made me feel like, wooow , this is good rugby to watck, this is 7's and finally i was like : YES this is the FUTURE of Rugby in Rwanda,
I am saying this because i was there ,watching, they were co mmunicating,passing side stepping and all the moves, they did score more tries than their elders.
All the players were good and some on the senior side also, like Coco Cambara, Mana( new in the squad) ,Ignace ,the fastest player and Lucien Bikamba.And the bad news is that the scram half of the senior team,Kevin Makmot won't be among others due to the sickness he has,we try to get more of this information and we will let you know.It is a big gap in the team because of his participation as a team leader and coordinator.
But we do hope that our two team will perform and well represent our country.

The players selected in the senior team are:
