Silverbacks land Safaricom 7s invite

RWANDA Rugby Federation will organise two local sevens tournaments to select players for the national team that will take part in the sixteenth edition of the prestigious Safaricom 7s slated for September 21-22 in Nairobi, Kenya.According to the technical director in the Rugby federation Gerald Nsenga, who also doubles as the Silverbacks head coach, the two tournaments will take place next month, but the dates are yet to be fixed.Nsenga noted that players must impress in the two local 7s tourneys in order to earn their places on the national team that will represent the country in the Nairobi event.“We want to take a strong team because it is a very competitive tournament with good teams from across the region. No player is guaranteed a place in the team, everyone will have to perform well in the two competitions before they’re considered for the Safaricon 7s,”Nsenga said.Silverbacks reached the Bowl finals of the same competition last
