Kenya XVs head coach Jerome Paarwater has named his squad for the Brazilian test in Rio de Janeiro this Saturday. Paarwater has retained all the Resolution Impala Saracens who took part in the first Elgon Cup leg 48-10 win on June 4th.
He has added scrum half Samson Onsomu to locks Erick Kerre and Simon Muniafu, fly half Nato Simiyu and veteran fullback Vincent Mose.
Onsomu has been vital to the Sarries season. When partnered with his teammate Nato Simiyu, Impala has had one of the most potent backline combinations. This was a big contributor to the Resolution Insurance sponsored side dominant form for much of the season.
The Simbas are currently 27th in the world ranking.
