Former Kenya 7's Captain and rugby legend Collins Injera was today 11, January 2023 inducted into the rugby walk of fame in Sigatoka in Fiji.

Injera, 36, who is Shujaa's top try scorer, sits second on the all-time try-scoring list on the prestigious HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series as managed to record 279 tries during his time with the men's national sevens team.

Injera was inducted alongside Fiji 7s star of the 90s Noa Nadruku. Nadruku, 55, was one of the stars of the Fiji 7s team in the 90s before Australia made a name for himself in Rugby League with Canberra Raiders where he won the 1994 Grand Final. In 1993 and 1996 he was the top try-scorer in the NRL. 

The duo will join such as David Campese (Australia), Waisale Serevi (Fiji), Jonah Lomu (New Zealand), Viliame Satala (Fiji), Ben Gollings (England), Karl Tenana (New Zealand) and Lote Tuqiri (Australia) in the star-studded Hall of Fame.

Injera was awarded the presidential Order of Golden Warriors (OGW) alongside his brother Humphrey Kayange for their performance in the 2008–09 IRB Sevens World Series. Collins Injera was named Player of the final in the 2016 Singapore Sevens, after helping Kenya to win their first tournament in World Sevens Series.
