Mwamba's Brian Mutugi is set for his second appearance in Shujaa colours after being named in the 12-man squad for the opening round of the World Rugby HSBC Challenger 2024 set for January 12-14 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Mutugi, who debuted during the Safari 7s, is the only change from the side that secured victory and Paris 2024 Olympic qualification with a 17-12 cup final win over South Africa in the Rugby Africa Men's 7s last September in Harare, Zimbabwe.
