Kenya Sevens on Saturday got a rude awakening in their quest to gain promotion back to the World Rugby Series, losing their quarter-final match against South Africa to fall down to the play-off for seventh place in Hong Kong Sevens.
Kenya will now play France in the play-off for seventh place from 7.51 am on Sunday at Kai Tak Sport Park in Hong Kong. The tournament is the first in the three-leg World Rugby Sevens Championship.
