Kenya hope to grab final World Cup spot

Kenya hope to clinch the final place at the 2019 Rugby World Cup in next month’s play-off tournament, coach Ian Snook said. A Kenyan victory at the round-robin contest would mark the first time for the 15s team at the World Cup. Snook said he regards first Canada as the strongest opponent in the four-team repechage, which gets under way at Marseille’s Stade Delort on November 11. “They are all well-organised, well-prepared, and they are good quality sides at this level so no game over there is going to be easy,” Snook said.
