The Kenya Lionesses have named a strong and experienced squad as they prepare for the Rugby Africa Cup Performance Division, with key senior players Janet Okello and Sheila Chajira included in the team set to carry the country’s hopes in the continental competition.

The selection comes as the national women’s rugby team steps up preparations for a tough tournament that will bring together four nations: Kenya, defending champions South Africa, Uganda and Madagascar.

The competition will test the Lionesses against some of the best teams on the continent as they aim to improve on their last performance.
