From rejection for being 'too small' to becoming an Olympian - The inspirational story of Kenya Sevens' George Ooro
How George 'Japolo' Ooro went from being rejected for being 'too small' to now being a key part of Shujaa in their quest to achieve Olympic glory.
“The weather in Miramas is good. At least it is sunny. Playing rugby in the stadium under such conditions is conducive. It is very nice,” Humwa revealed.
“We are focusing on our defence and the technical aspects in kick offs and set pieces, as well as making sure our nitty gritties are good and studying the opposition well, especially Argentina and Australia, since we have not played them this season.”
Humwa has revealed the qualities that the young players have brought to the team compared to the old guard, lauding their attitude and spirit.
“The young lads are up to the task and they are really cooperating in terms of training. They are confident of being here and we are just telling them that it is a game like any other," he added.

The Kenya Harlequin captain has also revealed what playing in his second Olympics would mean for him.
“The Olympics is a dream come true, especially playing in my second tournament. Last time, I did not experience it fully because of many restrictions," said Humwa.
“But now being here and playing for the Shujaa, it is a really good feeling and I am really honoured to be here.”
