Time expired with Zimbabwe leading 17-14. All the Zims needed to do was boot the ball into touch. However the kickoff was received by the Kenya winger. The ball eventually found its way into the hands of Dennis Ombachi who embarked on a scintillating run featuring power, speed and agility.<\/p>\n<p>He brushed off two would be tacklers who proceeded to fall down as if they had fallen off a moving bus or matatu. He then picked up speed and as two Zimbabwe defenders closed in, Ombachi executed a sudden change of direction that left the Zim defenders sprawling, leaving Ombachi to score beneath the posts and seal Kenya&#8217;s ticket to Rio. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CLdqS7wz2OE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The 2016 Olympics will feature rugby sevens for the first time ever.
