Gangla noted that the Kenya Under 20 team’s qualification to the Junior Rugby World Cup in Brazil in July is also an outstanding feat. The side, known as Chipu, beat holders Namibia 21-18 in the African qualifiers final at the KCB Sports Club in April. Gangla expressed confidence that the team will be competitive in Brazil, where they face Uruguay, Japan and Canada. Gangla said this shows the game is growing in leaps and bounds away from its traditional base in Nairobi. “It shows the game is growing and we have top teams able to compete with Nairobi’s best clubs and make the league competitive.
