Kenya Sevens head coach Kevin Wambua has named his squad for the upcoming Hong Kong and Singapore legs of the HSBC World Rugby 7s Series, with only one notable change from the previous lineup.
The Hong Kong 7s will be held from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 March, with Singapore 7s coming a week later from Saturday 4 to Sunday 5 April.

KCB Rugby’s Festus Shiasi returns to the squad after missing the Vancouver 7s, replacing youngster Jackson Siketi of Kabras RFC, who will miss out on these two rounds.
The squad, which remains largely unchanged, will be captained by the powerful forward George Ooro alongside playmaker Samuel Asati.
Kabras RFC continues to have strong representation, with Kevin Wekesa, William Mwanji, Brian Tanga and Jone Kubu all making the cut.
Speedster Patrick Odongo, former captains Vincent Onyala and Tony Omondi, as well as Nygel Amaitsa, Floyd Wabwire and Dennis Abukuse have also been included.
Shujaa will be aiming to bounce back from a disappointing outing in Vancouver, where they failed to win a single match and finished last with just one point.
They head into the Hong Kong 7s placed in Pool C alongside Spain, Great Britain and France.
Having already faced France and Great Britain in Vancouver and losing 33-7 and 26-10 respectively, Kenya will be keen to turn the tide this time.
Spain, Dubai Sevens silver medalists, last faced Shujaa in Cape Town, where Kenya suffered a 14-7 defeat, missing out on a semifinal spot.
A strong performance in Hong Kong will be crucial as a semifinal finish would ensure 'easier' opponents in Singapore.
