    Kenyan rugby sevens star makes $120000 permanent mistake at London sevens

    KENYA vice-captain Collins Injera certainly left his mark on the London rugby sevens tournament after celebrating his 200th international try by pulling a pen out of his sock and signing a television camera.

    Media reports said the exuberant player used a permanent marker on the lens, which cost around 60,000 pounds ($117,000), after scoring in a 24-12 win over Japan at Twickenham on Sunday.

    The practice is common in tennis, but winning players sign a protective covering instead of the lens and do not use permanent markers.
