NAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 7 – Nathan Hirayama’s penalty at the death saw Kenya Sevens start their Hong Kong Sevens campaign on the wrong footing, losing 17-14 to Canada in a Pool B match.

Shujaa had twice come from behind with Nelson Oyoo touching down and Sammy Oliech converted to draw 14-14 level, but after the restart the Canadians won possession and made it count, capitalizing on a mistake by Collins Injera.

It wasn’t a good day in office for the Kenyans with Luke McCloskey and Harry Jones touching down, both tries converted by Hirayama.
