Kenya Bags First Win in HSBC World Series Dubai Leg

Kenya’s splendid start to the 2012/13 IRB World Series continued with a 12-5 comeback victory over Scotland at the ongoing HSBC sevens in Dubai. After a first half characterized by sloppy give-away in possession as Scotland pinned Kenya in their own territory, The Morans , took to stride head coach Mike Friday’s half time call to up the pace and get it on with the leg work.

Collins Injera struck twice after the break. First center post converted try was a dummy run as he cut in on the weak side of the tracking defender while the second was one of sheer power as he bulldozed in his opposite number. With the two, the Kenyan leads the points log with 10. In the end, Kenya’s superior tackling success rate, 100% to 78%, saw them through to the buzzer.

Next up for Kenya is Spain at 13:58 with the Iberian side having lost to Fiji 14-0 in their first game. Will it be more for Injera?
