Tusker Safari Sevens is like fine wine… it gets better with age! This year I had a blast and even more so because we were the top seeded team at the tournament, we won the cup, and defended our title. But sadly that doesn’t do it for me… fine, I finally got an explanation as to why we won’t be blessed with a fully fledged rugby stadium in the near future BUT a dream is a dream even if it has to be included in the sports section of the currently almost elusive Vision 2030… I remain hopeful.

That having been said, I now reach for achievable goals and challenge all the other 15 participating teams to bring their Team As to the tournament so that we can have a proper thrashing out! This business of the Emerging Springboks and Samoa Team C isn’t cutting it for me. There were too few adrenaline packed exciting matches and it’s time we brought the world rugby stage to our modest set up at the Safari Sevens. The grounds are there, hospitality for visiting teams is there… corporate sponsorship and the eager ever noisy crowd will be there to support. So let’s think about it at least…

Anyway, kudos to all who came to support the up & coming 2011 RWC Champions! Most of all, success in surviving the week after that adrenaline packed, sweetly exciting weekend.

GO KENYA GO!
