NAIROBI, April 1 -- Revenge will be in the air as Kenya targets Tunisia's and Namibia's scalps in the Africa Junior Rugby Cup, which will be held in Nairobi from Thursday.

Four teams, including hosts Kenya, champions Namibia, Tunisia and Senegal will do everything in their power to win the three-day tournament, which is called christened Berthes Cup.

The winners will qualify for the 2019 Junior World Rugby Trophy set for Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil from July 9-21.

Kenya's head coach Paul Odera says he will use the home advantage to get one over on Tunisia, who beat Kenya in 2016, and Namibia, who have kept a strong grip on the trophy in the last three tournaments.

"Tunisia have heavy forwards and some dangerous players in the back-line but it is something that we are more than equipped to handle. We are prepared for it, our research has informed our developing and training sessions so that we're able to deal with these teams," Odera said on Monday.

The Kenyan tactician was also buoyant about his team's prospects against champions Namibia, as they target their first win over the southern Africans.

"If we do play Namibia again, I mean last year we pushed them hard but we lost. The score however didn't reflect how close the game was. Hopefully this year, if we can get the players mentally, physically and skillfully ready, perhaps we can be able to finally get a positive result against them at this level," he added.
