RUGBY Collins Injera reveals why he did not take up immediate Shujaa sevens coaching role upon retirement
The legendary former Kenya 7s winger has revealed why he is not looking forward to taking up a coaching role with the side in the immediate future.
For the first time, The Blitzboks have to qualify via the Africa Cup after they have always been automatic qualifiers since Sevens was introduced at the Olympics.
The South Africans crashed out of the race for fifth place at the Toulouse Sevens in May and will now have to qualify via the regional tournament if they are to make the Olympic Games next year.
“It’s tough. South Africa will be tough but we have a chance if we can plan well we can qualify but it will be very tough,” Weru said.

RUGBY Menengai Oilers coach explains why sunglasses never leave his eyes on match days
Gibson Weru has made it a common occurrence to don sunglasses on math days but is there a ‘ritual’ behind it?
“We have always had a good and competitive encounter whenever we play South Africa. It is always a tough gap.
“If we can put them under pressure and force them into making the wrong decisions, then we can stand a chance of qualifying.”
Given South Africa must qualify for the Olympics through the regional route, it is a critical situation for Shujaa, who normally dominate that tournament but are now in danger of missing out of the Olympics.
