The much-anticipated return of the Rugby Super Series is set to reignite the spirit of competition in Nairobi today with defending champions Buffaloes battling with the Cheetahs at noon at the RFUEA Grounds.
Originally planned for the KCB Sports Club in Ruaraka, the venue change was prompted by the recent heavy rains affecting Nairobi and other regions.
The Buffaloes, renowned for their formidable lineup and strategic prowess, are keen to retain their title. The series, returning after a ten-year hiatus, will be followed by a face-off between the Lions and Rhinos at 3pm.
Buffaloes coach Max Adaka shared his strategy for the upcoming match, emphasising his team's readiness and focus.
"We've honed our strengths and addressed our past weaknesses. Our approach against the Cheetahs will be to control the pace of the game and exploit their gaps. It's about playing smart and staying disciplined under pressure," said Adaka.
