Kenya Rugby Sevens targets gold as focus turns to Gold Coast

NAIROBI, April 11 (Xinhua) -- World Series top scorer Collins Injera believes a shift in rugby sevens dominance is good for the sport as Kenya carries its best form into the Commonwealth Games.

Injera, who will be making his third showing at the Games, says unity and hard work have helped the team put together a string of good results and believes it will continue at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games this weekend and the Singapore Sevens a week after.

"It will be my third Commonwealth Games appearance in a row. All I can say is thank you God and my supporters," Injera said.

The Kenyan team has no room for complacency in their quest to advance past the group stage at the Games.

There are four groups and the top ranked teams in each of the pools will qualify for the semifinal, staying in contention for the medals on offer. This is different from the last two Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and New Delhi where the top two teams from each pool sailed through to the quarters. But it is a challenge that Injera believes his team will be able to take in its stride.

Kenya is pooled in group C together with New Zealand, Canada and Africa Cup bronze medalists Zambia.

"We take the lessons and move forward. Canada and Hong Kong was good to us. Next up is the Commonwealth Games. We win and lose together and live to fight another day," he added.

Kenya turned around their season in the World Series, finishing second in the last two stops in Vancouver, Canada and Hong Kong.

Kenya's contingent of 18 members, led by head coach Innocent Simiyu, arrived at the Gold Coast ahead of the weekend's action.
