Injera stepped up to head coach role at Mwamba’s sevens side on an interim capacity in the absence of Kevin Wambua who was away on international duty with Shujaa on a couple of legs in the just concluded National Sevens Circuit.
Mwamba coach Collins Injera has revealed that there is ‘no pressure’ being in charge of Mwamba after taking up a coaching role at the club following several years of taking the game by storm both locally and internationally.
Injera has stepped up to take charge of the Mwamba Sevens side in the absence of Kevin Wambua, who doubles up as the Shujaa Sevens coach and has been away focusing on the team as they prepare to fly out to Zimbabwe for the African Olympic Qualifiers.

RUGBY Shujaa to begin road to Paris Olympics with clash against Nigeria
Kenya Sevens will hope to win all pool matches to top their group and land a favourable opponent in the cup quarter-final.
“There is no pressure. These are young guys who are really coming up. They are playing some very good rugby and I think the hiccups we are having are hiccups of experience,” Injera told Sports Eye Sports.
“Most of them have not been in certain situations but I think for them after this circuit, they will be in a good place because I think whatever we have learnt from this circuit has really been like a package. It came down together.”

RUGBY: Bling Wambua unveils Kenya Sevens squad and combat plan for top dogs South Africa
Kevin Wambua has selected a mixture of youth and experience for the 2024 Olympic qualifiers and believes he has enough quality to beat fancied South Africa
“Every game is a different experience and they learn, and fortunately for them to learn that, they just have to experience such moments, so that they can understand that when they appear next what to do.”
Mwamba finished fifth in the 2023 National Sevens Circuit, and Injera is proud of the side’s consistency this year, something they can build on from next season.
“I am proud of the boys. I always say that we have become the most consistent team, we are always finishing fifth, fifth, fifth apart from last weekend when we went to third.”
Clubs missed alot of their key players to international duty for the last leg of the circuit, the Kabeberi Sevens held at the RFUEA grounds in Nairobi. Kabras Sugar was one side that was made to pay dearly for that effect.
Although there was some quality lost, Injera is happy it gave teams a chance to test more players in the circuit.
“It affected some quality. If you look at the players that have been plucked out from clubs, those are key players for their clubs,” Injera said.
“You can definitely see that a bit of quality went down but the talent is still there. I think if you look at the games, teams still played well but the quality reduced, but it is expected.”
