National Sevens team skipper Andrew Amonde is bullish about the side's chances ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic qualifiers next month as well as the World Sevens Series. "The boys are looking sharp, well organised and determined to succeed and both teams played their hearts out over the weekend,” added Amonde. However, he observed that there is still room for improvement on some aspects with three weeks to go to the Olympic qualifiers and six weeks to the start of the World Sevens Series. Amonde termed the Dubai pool, where Kenya face three-time champions South Africa, England and Spain as a tricky one. “It's a tough draw but with the experience of our senior players and some of the young players coming through, we will be competitive,” he noted.
