Simbas Down To 24th In Latest World Rankings
Kenya is down to 24th in the latest rankings released by World Rugby on Monday 13 February 2017.
The Simbas, whose last assignment was the 34-10 win over Hong Kong last August in Nairobi have 59.28 points and been overhauled by Germany who climbed to 22nd on 60.73 points courtesy of a shock 41-38 win over Romania in Rugby Europe Championship action on Saturday.
World Champions New Zealand remain top of the global rankings with 94.78 points. South Africa, at 6th, remains Africa’s highest ranked team followed by 19th ranked Namibia. Zimbabwe (37th), Senegal (39th) and Uganda (43rd) round off the top five continental teams.
The Simbas do have an opportunity to improve their rankings when they play Uganda in June’s Elgon Cup first leg in Kampala on 10 June before meeting the Rugby Cranes in the return fixture a fortnight later, a clash that also marks the start of the Africa Cup where fixtures against Tunisia, Senegal, Zimbabwe and Namibia are also lined up.
