The fifth leg of the 2024 National Sevens Circuit, Driftwood Sevens, is set to kick off this Saturday at the Mombasa Sports Club, with defending champions Kabras Sugar RFC determined to retain their crown.

In a bid to reclaim their title, Kabras find themselves in a challenging Group C, often dubbed the "pool of death," alongside Kenya Harlequin, Nakuru RFC, and Mwamba RFC.

Kenya Harlequin, the most successful team in Driftwood Sevens history with 12 titles, pose a major challenge in Group C. They have been consistent throughout the season, reaching the semifinals in every leg so far. Mwamba, with six titles, and Nakuru RFC, add further intensity to the group.
