Kenya on Sunday went down 12-7 to Argentina in the Challenge Trophy quarterfinal at the Paris Sevens.

Bazan Velez squirmed his way over the try line, the only score of the first half as the Argentines led 5-0 at the break.

Eden Agero would deliver a perfectly weighted pass to Nelson Oyoo who turned on the gas to socre under the posts, Agero’s conversion putting Shujaa 7-5 ahead but Gaston Revol’s converted effort secured the win for the Argentines, Shujaa dropping to the 13th place playoff fixture against Russia at 1.06pm.

The team started their Paris Sevens campaign with a 14-20 loss to France, recovering to beat Spain 26-14 before holding England to a 12-12 draw, a result that was not good enough for them to break the top two.
