now that EABL have stopped their sponsorship for the Tusker Safari 7s after being asked to also sponsor the Elgon Cup,will this event retain its lustre? the top team action,pints,beautiful women etc made this event a sellout brand...Tusker in Tusker Safari 7s nice..if OMO come onboard for the OMO Safari 7s,what next?

Rugby Union pls be careful with your title sponsor

Powerfoam 7s,I like that.

Safari 7s will still sell........guy come to watch rugde,to drinkand other to play i always wondered why OMO and detergent companies kept away from rugby. it was long over due.

Tusker guys try other brands keroche,UDV,just wait you will even wonder where brewers co-sponsoring came from.

@fred - True. Not sure on your question all the same I think the inaugural Trustco Namibia Sevens is large and has attracted a lot more top sides to Africa than Safari 7s. However,if the 7s is made an Olympic sport as they are planning,the world rugby body will be under some pressure to make 7s more mass appealing. Safari 7s may by default be a continental benefactor and the only sticky issue would be funding...

SUMMIT SAFARI 7s sounds royal...

Can silence be misquoted?

@mLEFU Lol,more suggestions

Eno Safarisevens

Member Safari s7s

New Doom Safari s7s




forewarned is forearmed

Always Ultra Safari Sevens...Safari Cane Safari Sevens

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

@ Solloh i beg to differ
will omo pump the sh 26 million for 5 years running? time will tell
I think KRFU blundered,big time and by the way the safari sevens international profile was growing immensely,this year about 1300 guyz came from as far as Australia due to the Kenya team success at the IRB sevens circuit.
I think the KRFU should instead have sought the emerging regional business giants such as KCB,Member etc instead of the haki yetu mentality..

less is more for Architects only!!

1st I don't know why EABL always imagines they are the ones who made rugby successful? They have funded rugby which goes without saying and the funds have been useful in supporting the budget of the KRFU but are not in anyway the largest source of financing. Remember most of the 26m goes into media which is just EABL redirecting their media spend in May and June,so really i actually think its EABL gaining at that time alot more.

EABL has been asleep not knowing what to do with the positive vibe from safari sevens. The downside of having women marketers (no offence to the sisters) trying to sponsor sport,they simply can't understand it,they tend to want large crowds similar to what you get at roadshows around a mall,or the TPF after parties. EABL is making a blunder and you watch and see,we all remember their other blunder,terminating the 7's deal and Virgin taking over and doing what good marketers would do,exploiting the association globally at 2 bob.

Watch the space,you will see new sponsors and many at that with even larger spend and a beer sponsor meaning no EABL products over that weekend. Iko heineken,Castle beers,Siera,Summit and even Windhoek. This thing will be done that way. This year Heineken was official drink partner of Floodlights and they outsold breweries products......why does EABL want to invite competition in their back yard? Typical kenyan company feeling too cocky. The Elgon discussion was logical,you can't sign contracts to sponsor elgon cup then fanya a high jump......no one forced them to sponsor they were rukaing a contract by saying they never signed yet people have a copy. which was exposing both union bwana....wacha wakwende!

Dude but how many drink Tusker? TPF has no effect on young drinkers infact most opt for viceroy,richot,vodka etc,but not tusker which is what TPF wants them to do. Infact if you care to look,there are more new white cap drinkers than there are tusker drinkers. Most of these were formerly tusker drinkers,tusker beer quality is gone to the timbers and this is what they need to sort before they go on a publicity blitz...ok enuf said I should be billing debz now
