However, beyond the weather disruption, the fixture has also drawn attention because of a pre-match agreement regarding the use of national team players.
Mozzart Sport can confirm that both clubs and the Kenya Rugby Union had reportedly agreed not to field Kenya Sevens (Shujaa) players, who are in the national team camp.
Despite this understanding, KCB named and fielded all their available Shujaa players, while Kabras delayed announcing their squad and eventually released it only a few hours before kickoff, with no Shujaa players included.

Under Section 13: Abandonment – Other Causes, the rules state that if a match is abandoned either at halftime or at any point in the second half, the result shall stand.
However, if the abandonment occurs during the first half, the result is declared a draw and the match is replayed at a date determined by the Union in consultation with the teams.
