What you need to know:

  • The winner will meet either Senegal or Algeria, who will play later at the same venue and day while Namibia were to Burkina Faso on Friday at Stade Delort, Marseille
  • Uganda and Kenya bring into their match almost similar style of play but while the Cranes pack looks heavier, the Simbas enjoy good fitness
  • Odera explained that they have done their analysis and the players have done their homework

The die has been cast and regional rugby rivalry between Kenya Simbas and Uganda Cranes reaches its crescendo at Stade Maurice David, Aix-en-Provence, France on Saturday.

However, the Simbas skipper Dan Sikuta reckons that teamwork, character and attitude exhibited in the den is enough to devour Cranes in the 2023 Rugby World Cup Africa qualifier.
