Also making a first start of the season is Mike Shibadu who replaces Francis Akatu at tighthead prop as Francis Akatu.
Lavin Asego makes his way back back from a long injury lay off , starting off the bench where he is in the company of Nick Ongeri, Kevin Moriasi, Peter Chege, Kisia, George Mutuku and former Ulinzi and KCB back Mark Okwaro.
