Lionesses change three for South Africa duel

Kenya Rugby Union (KRU)

There are three changes to the Lionesses starting line up  for Wednesday’s Rugby Africa Women’s Cup clash against South Africa at the Stade Makis in Antananarivo.

Faith Livoi is moved from the second row to the backline, starting at inside center as part of a midfield partnership with Esther Juma as Lewin Amazimbi does not feature in the match day squad.

Hesla Khisa, who came off the bench during Saturday’s 29-22 defeat to Madagascar, starts in the second row alongside Naomi Jelagat in a rejigged pack that sees Enid Ouma move from the blindside to number eight.  Mitchelle Akinyi is also handed a start in the backrow after coming on as a replacement on Saturday.

Diana Kemunto, a starter in the previous match, will come off the bench while Nolin Khaleyi and Hellen Anyango could make their first starts of the tournament after being named among the replacements.
This match kicks off at 1300 EAT and will be aired live on the Rugby Africa Facebook page.

  1. Sport Trivia: Who was South Africa\’s first Olympic Gold Medal winner? Answer: Reginald Walker. Reginald Walker was born in 1889 in Natal and in 1907 was the South African 100m champion. He battled with finances to get to London for the 1908 Summer Olympics but once he was there he managed, very unexpectedly to all those competing, to beat the field and walk off with the Gold for the 100m. As at 2005 Reggie Walker was still the youngest winner of the 100m Olympic Gold Medal.
