[Jonah Onyango, Standard]The Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) decision to void the 2019-20 season due to the coronavirus pandemic has elicited mixed reactions, with Kabras Sugar coach Henly Du Plessis faulting the move. This was the year we were looking forward to lifting the Kenya Cup especially with the investments we made before the season,” he told Standard Sports yesterday. Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST RFC) and Strathmore Leos, who were chasing Kenya Cup promotion, have also cried foul as they deemed the decision unprocedural. Mbeche further gave the example of the rugby union in England, where they used a points-per-game method to determine the final standings for the 2019-20 rugby season after it became clear the season would not be completed due to coronavirus pandemic. Strathmore Leos head coach Louis Kisia is against the decision saying: “We had finished the season unbeaten with a maximum of 76 points.
