Oscar Ouma will stand tall to lead Kenya's Shujaa Seven campaign in the Australia sevens starting on Friday in the Third leg of World world seven series.Shujaa will face of Argentina at 11.06am in their first match and will wrap up with France on Saturday at 7.25am and against Wales at 11.36am the same day.Team manager Erick Ogweno said that the teams' morale remains upbeat and believes the team will put up a good performance to attract sponsors.Their official sponsors Sportpesa withdrew the sponsorship after a gaming tax of 35 percent was introduced in betting.Nakuru's Oscar Ouma will captain the team in both the Sydney and Hamilton legs after Homeboyz' center Oscar Ayodi, who captained the opening Dubai and Capetown legs, picked up a knee injury.Menengai Oilers' Erick Ombasa will stand out in the team after an impressive performance in the 2017 National sevens circuit with debutants in the Capetown leg, Samuel “Smurf” Ng’ethe and Arthur Owira who were retained in place of Collins Injera who picked up an injury.Shujaa is at a poor 13th position after the Capetown sevens which saw them drop from 7th worldwide.
