Collins Injera Suspended

We all remember him for being rated among the fastest and best try scorers in the world IRB series. He plays for Kenya Sevens team which on the IRB Log is ranked 6thworldwide. Things seem not to be going well for one of our favourite Rugby players Collins Injera. Just a week after RFC(Rugby Football Club) gave him an eight week suspension, he has been accused of gross misconduct and this has prompted him to be kicked out of the national team. The chair of the Kenya Rugby Union claimed Injera had missed out on several training sessions. In his defence, Injera said he had explained to National squads and the Elite training director Philip Jalan’go why he was not present during the Friday training.
Collins Injera is a student at the renowned Daystar University and is now undertaking his internship in one of the leading companies in Nairobi. He was faced with the dilemma of choosing to attend morning trainings with the national team or his compulsory class internship. This, according to reports might have been the reason why he failed to show up for the team trainings.
Mr. Philip Jalang’o believes that until the player apologised for missing eight training sessions, his contract will remain terminated. His teammates, however, are trying everything possible to get their team mate back.
