[Stafford Ondego, Standard]Kenya Chipu head coach Curtis Olago is confident his charges will rise to the challenge posed by Samoa when the two nations clash today (Saturday) at Nyayo Stadium when the World Rugby U20 Trophy gets underway in Nairobi. “We are going to use the Barthes Cup as a lesson and work on the many mistakes we made and iron out our game tactics because with the World Cup, everything must be on point,” said the Kenya Cup champion. Chipu will play Samoa U20 today from 12pm after Scotland play the opener of the 2023 global junior rugby event against African Barthes Cup champions Zimbabwe from 10am. The Kenya Harlequin star said the feeling at their camp has been good, as they have worked on their mistakes witnessed when they finished second in the Barthes Cup.
