A tough start for Shujaa in Bordeaux as Kenya fell 31-12 to Fiji in their opening Pool clash.
Tries from Patrick Okong'o and Kevin Wekesa were not enough for Kevin Wambua's charges as the Pacific Islanders secured victory.
Kenya now shift their focus to a crucial clash against South Africa later tonight at 9:36 PM as they seek to bounce back and keep their campaign alive.

All well-wishers are invited to attend, offer their support, and stand in solidarity with Felix's family during this difficult time.
Oloo will be laid to rest on 6th June.

JKUAT Courgars players took to the field wearing their former primary and high school socks as a way of paying tribute to the schools that shaped their rugby journey and mourning the victims of the tragic fire at Utumishi Girls, with players carrying their memories onto the pitch in a touching show of solidarity.
A powerful reminder that rugby is bigger than the game. π―οΈπ
