The Kenyan women's rugby 7s team is set to compete in the World Rugby 7s Division 2 tournament in Montevideo, Uruguay, with Judith Auma making a comeback after struggling with injuries over the past year. Auma missed significant tournaments, including the Africa Women's 7s and the previous Division 2 leg held in Nairobi, but her return is expected to bolster the team's performance. Alongside her, Faith Livoi rejoins the squad after being dropped for the previous round, indicating a strategic reshuffling by coach Odongo.

Notably absent from the squad is Grace Adhiambo, who has been a key player in the team and currently plays in France. Her absence, along with that of Phoebe Akinyi, who participated in earlier competitions, raises concerns about the squad's depth heading into this crucial tournament. However, the coach has retained both Charity Nilah and Marvel Oswago, who have been impressive in their previous outings and are poised to contribute significantly to the team's prospects in Uruguay.

With a mix of returning veterans and fresh talent, the Lionesses' squad aims to compete effectively against their international counterparts in Montevideo. The inclusion of experienced players like captain Sheila Chajira suggests a focus on leadership and cohesion, which will be essential for their success in this competitive environment as they strive to make a mark in the global rugby scene.
