Kenya’s national rugby sevens team Shujaa suffered a difficult start at the Bordeaux Sevens after falling 31-12 to Fiji in their opening Pool C match on Friday at Stade de Bordeaux in France.
Fiji wasted no time in stamping their authority on the contest. Terio Veilawa collected David Nyangige’s kickoff inside the opening minute and sprinted through for the first try before adding the conversion for a 7-0 lead.
Shujaa responded strongly moments later through Patrick Odongo. The winger chased down his own kick and grounded the ball to score Kenya’s first try. Nyangige calmly converted to draw Kenya level at 7-7.
