In this episode of Sportsplaining, we discuss the relegation of Kenya 7s from the World Rugby Seven Series, explaining and simplifying key concepts such as what it means to be a core team.
We address the lack of discussion surrounding the crucial factor of the World Rugby Seven Series changing the format of HSBC World Rugby Seven Series to match the Olympics format, and how this is a devil in the detail which led to Kenya's relegation from the HSBC World Rugby Seven Series.
We delve into Kenya's journey to achieve that status and discuss the challenges Kenya now faces, including the search for sponsorship and the lack of solid competition. And touch upon factors contributing to Kenya's relegation, such as player retirements and mismanagement within the Kenya Rugby Union.
