As the national sevens rugby team made history by winning the main cup at the Singapore leg of the Sevens Rugby Series on Sunday afternoon, eyes were on the young hunk in the team who bears a striking resemblance to British actor Idris Elba.
Twenty three year-old Sammy Oliech has caused a stir among women fans who have nicknamed him the “young Idris Elba.”

Oliech took time on Wednesday to give Nairobi News a glimpse into his personal life and rugby career.

Asked about his ideal weekend, the 23 year-old Nairobian said he enjoys driving out of town.
“My ideal weekend is a road trip out of town that involves camping and hanging out with my circle of friends,” said Oliech.
He suffers from a rare dislike for normal photos, which is why he prefers sticking out his tongue when taking photos.
