What you need to know:

  • When asked about the possibility of coaching Kenya again, Friday responded, “Who knows? I have been in the USA for a long time, and I can’t travel much now. Kenya is in safe hands with Wambua in charge, and I will be excited to see how they perform in Dubai.”
  • Friday’s resignation as Kenya Sevens head coach in 2012 was due to internal conflicts within the KRU board, but he remains hopeful for Shujaa’s future. “I wanted to protect my players, but it was too much, and I couldn’t hold anymore,” he said.

Former Kenya Sevens head coach Mike Friday has said that Shujaa must improve if they want to make an impact in World Rugby Sevens Series that begins next month.

Friday based his assessment on Kenya Sevens’ performance at the Safari Sevens that ended on Sunday at Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos.
