Kenya 7s coach Kevin Wambua has termed the cancellation of the Rugby Africa season a big blow for the national squad that depends on the continental games to gauge themselves. Shujaa, who are the reigning Africa champions, will not defend the title they won last year in Johannesburg, South Africa after Rugby Africa cancelled the 2020 season last week due to the coronavirus pandemic. Wambua described the situation as a missed opportunity for Kenya to rub shoulders with Africa's elite nations on the continent. Kenya Lionesses head coach Felix Oloo said with the cancellation of the season, the team must go back to the drawing board. The Lionesses were due to play Colombia in World cup qualifier in April while the Sevens side was to play in the World Seven Series qualifier in South Africa and feature in the Langford Sevens Series in May.
