Kenya Harlequins
omitted from 2012 Safari Sevens
Kenya Harlequins will not participate in this year’s Safari
Sevens as expected; their slot was taken by debutant Universities Select. Quins
are blaming the Kenya Rugby Union for their omission from the event.
The rugby fraternity widely expected Quins to participate in
the Safari Sevens after winning the 2012 National Sevens Circuit.
