Quest for Dubai Sevens: Kenya Beats South Africa

Written by Shirlene Alusa-Brown | Posted Thursday, February 12, 2009 | 0 Comments

South Africa’s team were the favorites and the tournament leaders.  Kenya has not really considered as a team with a chance against them.  So what happened?  Kenya was determined to show up strong and increase their chances of making it to the finals in Dubai. They rallied hard and beat them 22-17, ensuring their place in the quarter finals.  Kenya will play against Wales on Friday in an attempt to secure a place in the semi-finals.

Another shocker in the game was the loss by Fiji to the United States (10-15). Like South Africa, Fiji was favored to win and their loss meant that they will not be in the quarter finals. Wales beat New Zealand 28-17 to make it through to the next round.  Samoa and Australia will not be in the quarter finals.
