Kilonzo debuts as Simbas squad for Hong Hong named

KCB utility back Peter Kilonzo will make his test debut on Saturday, partnering Leo Seje in a midfield partnership as the Simbas squad to face Hong Kong in the return test at the RFUEA was unveiled on Wednesday morning.

Kilonzo, who played for Kenya “A” in their 24-18 win over the same opponent in Nairobi last years, starts ahead of regular outside center David Ambunya as the Simbas look to build from last Sunday’s 19-19 draw against the Dragons.

Team Manager Simiyu Wangila, speaking to the press in Nairobi said, “Kilonzo has been knocking on the door and after being part of the set up, gets his opportunity to don the colors and roar with the rest of the pride on Saturday. He comes in for David Ambunya who is nursing a shoulder injury.”
