Floyd Wabwire's performance for Kenya Morans at the 2027 Rugby Africa 7s certainly caught the eye of many rugby fans and pundits alike.
Many casual rugby observers could have been forgiven for thinking Floyd Wabwire was Patrick Odongo at the 2025 Rugby Africa 7s tournament in Mauritius last weekend.
Wabwire was selected as part of Louie Kisia’s Morans squad for the tournament, which was serving as a qualifying platform for African sides to make the HSBC SVNS Division 3 league next season.
Kenya, alongside South Africa, already confirmed their places in Division 2 and Division 1 respectively, so they were using the tournament to give a couple of newbies a chance to audition and force their way into the thinking of Kevin ‘Bling’ Wambua for the main Shujaa set up.

Wabwire’s Speed too Much For Opponents
)
In the opening game against Côte d’Ivoire, Wabwire announced his arrival with a sensational hat-trick. He didn’t just score—he dominated.
Every time he touched the ball, he looked like a threat. His lines were sharp, his acceleration unmatched, and his finishing instinct clinical. Kenya romped to a 36–0 win, with Wabwire accounting for most of the damage.
Then came the second match against Ghana, where Wabwire crossed the whitewash yet again, notching his fourth try of the tournament. The Morans walked away with another convincing win, 33–0, and topped their pool with ease, conceding no points in their first two matches.

Mohammed Bajaber: Bittersweet Moment for Harambee Stars Attacker as He Wins League While Ex-Club is Relegated
Mohammed Bajaber must be feeling mixed emotions after winning the FKF Premier League title while watching the club that nurtured him get relegated.
Floyd Wabwire’s Bright Future
While Kenya’s medal hopes fell short in the knockout rounds, eventually finishing fourth, Wabwire’s performances in the group stage left a lasting impression.
He wasn’t just fast—he was intelligent. He timed his runs with precision, committed defenders to create space for others, and showed an awareness beyond his years.
For a player relatively new to the international sevens scene, Wabwire’s composure and confidence mirrored that of a seasoned campaigner. His form will no doubt give Wambua and his technical bench plenty to think about as they begin preparations for the upcoming HSBC SVNS season.
And in a time when Kenya is actively rebuilding, Wabwire’s emergence is not just timely—it’s necessary.

He may have worn the Morans jersey in Mauritius, but his performances suggest it won’t be long before he’s wearing Shujaa colours on the global stage. Whether it’s Division 2 in Madrid or the World Challenger Series next year, don’t be surprised if Floyd Wabwire becomes a mainstay.
Kenya may have sent a second-string side to Mauritius, but Wabwire’s star turn made it clear: this was no second-rate talent.
