It’s thrilling to see the resurgence of the Rugby Super Series with a fresh lineup of coaches, including former Kenya Internationals like Lawrence Buyachi taking charge.
Buyachi’s experience both as a player and coach brings a unique perspective to the Cheetahs franchise, particularly as he returns to a team he represented earlier in his career.
Buyachi’s dedication to instilling a strong work ethic in his players reflects his commitment to the sport. His coaching stints at various clubs and universities have undoubtedly shaped his approach to leadership, and now he’s ready to tackle the challenge of leading an elite franchise in the Rugby Super Series.
The significance of the Rugby Super Series in providing a platform for top players to compete at a high level cannot be overstated.
By bringing together the best talent from various clubs, the competition not only adds excitement to the local rugby scene but also elevates the quality of players available for selection to the national team.
As the 2024 Rugby Super Series kicks off, Buyachi exudes confidence in his team’s readiness to compete. With a mix of experienced players and newcomers, the Cheetahs are poised to make their mark on the tournament. It’s inspiring to see the enthusiasm and determination within the camp, signaling a promising start to the competition.
The 2024 Rugby Super Series will be played on four match days in four different venues. The competition kicks off on 4 May 2024 and Buyachi believes his boys are ready to go. “The mood in camp is very positive, getting a majority of the boys in camp. We had a small glitch with Impala and Homeboyz players, but they will join us next week. We have three more sessions before we compete.”
Buyachi will be lucky to have some players with Rugby Super Series experience. Menengai Oilers’ Elkeans Musonye (Ndovu), Impala’s George Okowa (Chui) and Nakuru’s Philip Owuor (Ndovu) all played in the very last edition in 2014. “The excitement in camp is palpable and the boys are ready to compete. I have at least three players in my camp who played in the Rugby Super Series a decade ago. For the rest this is a new challenge, and they are all ready to play.” concludes Buyachi.
