Shujaa continued their dominant run at the opening leg of the 2026 HSBC World Rugby SVNS 2 Tournament with a commanding 33-0 victory over Belgium in their second match of the day at Nyayo National Stadium on February 14.<\/p>\n
Fresh from a 29-12 win over Canada earlier in the morning, Kevin Wambua\u2019s charges wasted no time asserting control against the Europeans. <\/p>\n
Assistant captain Samuel Asati opened the scoring just two minutes into the contest, capitalizing on close-range possession to dot down. Nygel Amaitsa added the conversion for a 7-0 lead.<\/p>\n
Shujaa doubled their advantage after winning a scrum inside their own 22. Christan Ojwang received a well-timed offload, broke through Belgium\u2019s defensive line and sprinted clear to score between the posts. Amaitsa converted again to make it 14-0.<\/p>\n
Kenya remained relentless as halftime approached. Asati turned provider, offloading to Kevin Wekesa who finished clinically to extend the lead. <\/p>\n
Moments later, speedstar Patrick Odongo burst through the Belgian backline to score under the posts. With both conversions successful, Shujaa went into the break firmly in control at 26-0.<\/p>\n
The second half followed a similar pattern, with Kenya dominating possession and territory. Floyd Wabwire, introduced off the bench, added the fifth try to seal the result. <\/p>\n
Debutant David Nyangige calmly slotted the conversion to complete the 33-0 rout.<\/p>\n
Belgium struggled to gain momentum throughout the match, repeatedly contained by Kenya\u2019s organized defence and quick transitions. <\/p>\n
The result marked Shujaa\u2019s second consecutive win of the tournament, reinforcing their intent to push for promotion to the top-tier SVNS World Championship.<\/p>\n
With the Nairobi leg running through to Sunday, Shujaa have made a strong statement on home soil, combining defensive discipline with clinical finishing to maintain their unbeaten start in the Division 2 campaign.<\/p>\n
