Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya’s top tries Sevens scorer Collins Injera will grace the Fiji Coral Coast Sevens as the tournament\u2019s ambassador in January next year.<\/p>\n

The Mwamba winger has 279 tries to his credit and currently sits second on the try-scoring list behind Englishman Dan Norton with a career spanning 16 years.<\/p>\n

Tournament director, Jay White, said they are delighted to have Injera on board as an ambassador for the event.<\/p>\n

“Injera is a global superstar to this game and we believe he will inspire a generation of younger players,\u201d added White.<\/p>\n

The talismanic player urged younger players to stay disciplined and focused.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith discipline, you\u2019ll be able to achieve anything because although nothing good comes easy, everything comes with a bit of sacrifice. It\u2019s just a matter of what you\u2019re willing to sacrifice,” he added.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Lenana have been seeded top rugby Sevens during the Nairobi county secondary school games in their backyard this weekend. Lenana are in Pool A alongside Garden Estate, Lang\u2019ata and Jamhuri<\/p>\n
