After playing bridesmaid to South Africa twice, home team Kenya Lionesses are looking to go better when the continent’s best teams converge on Nairobi for Rugby Africa Women’s Cup that starts today (Saturday) at the RFUEA grounds.

Kenya Lionesses expect fierce opposition from defending champions, South Africa Bokkies, who are chasing a record fifth crown. Uganda and Madagascar complete the roster for the four-team championship that will be contested on a round-robin basis in a period of one week.
