Mokoro only made his Kenya Cup debut against Homeboyz last week, but already looks a masterpiece after a dominating display against Mwamba last Saturday.
Kenya Harlequin scrum half Cornelius Mokoro is a man on a mission to make it big after taking the 2023/2024 Kenya Cup season by storm despite only debuting a week ago against Homeboyz.
Mokoro held his own against Homeboyz but had an arguably better display against Mwamba at the weekend, producing a man of the match display as they brushed aside Mwamba 40-10, with the diminutive player scoring a brace.
Both tries were clever maneuvers through a crowded 22 yard zone before nonchalantly touching the ball down, which earned him plenty of praise, including praise from Kenya Rugby Union chairman Sasha Mutai.
