I know I know it doesn’t look like much but trust me it is..mtoto ako 50 weeks old ni mtu mkubwa..
I have decided to dedicate my 50th post to the OSBK player of the year 2011, and put up something other than a preview or a review while presenting to y’all a new writter all in one post, yes I am that good.
Below is an interview that was done a while ago, one that I have not had time to put up in time..but finally.
The Interview on OSBK player of the year 2011, Oscar Ouma (remember the poll..yes that one!) was done by one Ms. Rebecca ‘Becky’ Nguru or as she is fondly known ‘Apple Bottoms’ (@bubblebottoms)…here is what she had on perhaps her favourite rugby player this side of the Sahara..maybe after Collins Kimani, I don’t know…
Standing at 182cm, weighing 96kgs, this utility player is a force to reckon with in the rugby world. The soft spoken winger/prop/flanker attributes his success to Nakuru RFC famously known as (Wanyore) in the rugby fraternity. At 23years, he has managed to secure a position in the national 7s purely on merit and I think we can agree with him on this one. Nakuru RFC’s open side flanker Oscar Ouma made his debut for the national seven-a-side team in 2009 and he is bound to be the next big name in Kenya rugby.

He also thanks God that through rugby, he can now be able to pay his school fees and give back to the society especially the Nakuru fraternity which was the major character in his success story. “Rugby has opened up so many opportunities for me and it feels good to give back to the society and relieve my parents of some duties.” He however finds it hard to juggle rugby and school but he strives to do his best. When I ask him about how he handles all the attention he gets, you can see how he struggles to be as objective and diplomatic as he can. His response however throws me off balance. Wait for it – “It’s challenging dealing with it but the best thing to do is be humbled and appreciate your fans coz you are who u are coz of their support and being humbled is the way to go.” Talk about humility. This man acknowledges that his fan base has made him who he is today and he appreciates them *am his greatest fan btw*
