The first-ever NYC Sevens is just around the corner, and fans are counting down to July 15th when the Red Bull Arena will host some of the best rugby sevens action of the year.

The series, which has already added the USA and Ireland teams, and today has now expressed “excitement” to add Kenya to the line-up.

The addition of  Shujaa will sure bring even more excitement to the event. They will take on the field alongside some of the biggest names in rugby sevens including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, France, and Fiji.

Shujaa dropped to the 13th place semifinal after losing 17 -10 to Samoa in the France 7s 9th place quarterfinal in Toulouse on Saturday evening, to cap off what has been a rather forgettable season for the side, who are now staring at relegation from the HSBC World Rugby Series urugushould they fail to perform well at the next event in London.

The total NYC Sevens prize pot stands at $1 MILLION, so expect the level of play to be at an all-time high and Kenya to bring their A game, as they attempt to reduce their financial woes.
