We had put all our focus on the game against Namibia and after that everyone relaxed. It was a scenario that none of us had faced. We had created a big chance for ourselves but we didn\u2019t handle it well. We have five guys from that team here and we have spoken about it; we can\u2019t run away from it,\u201d Injera says.<\/p>\n<p>The team has had better preparations this time round, including an 11-week training camp in South Africa that Injera says has improved the team massively and they are now eager to put what they have worked for into practice when they start off the qualifiers in France.<\/p>\n<p>Injera says; \u201cIf you look at the team now, it is different from when we left. The guys got more exposure and now they are also looking bigger and fitter and the rugby brain has also improved. Those preps in South Africa and if you also look at the two games we played here, it tells you the guys are psyched, eager to go and the confidence is high as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/07\/Collo1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/07\/Collo1-1024x638.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-319183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/07\/Collo1-1024x638.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/07\/Collo1-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/07\/Collo1-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/07\/Collo1-1536x958.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2022\/07\/Collo1-2048x1277.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Collins Injera gestures during a training session with the Kenya Simbas.
