Solo to lead the Lions in Kenya!
We’re thrilled to confirm off the back of a successful RugbyTown campaign, which saw the Lions become the only overseas side to defeat eventual champions Denver 7s Selects that Solo will be Lead coach for the Lions as the men head to Kenya next month.
Solo who started his journey with us as a coach for our East Anglia 7s Academy Group, is the lead coach for the Pacific Islanders RFU and comes from a strong rugby family with his son Tui a key Eggchaser Academy Coach, and his daughter Lukcyana a prominent member of our U16 squad.
On leading the Lions out Solo had this to say “I am honoured to be given the role as Head coach for our Lions Team competing in Kenya this year. Really excited to work with some great players and staff."
Director Of Rugby, Bobby Watkins added on Solo's appointment "I'm delighted to welcome Solo back as the lead coach for our inaugural attendance at the Safari 7s. Solo brings a flair to the Lions, having coached now in 3 different continents for us in successive tournaments; what an honour it is have Solo within our team as we take the Lions international."
