The Uganda men’s national rugby team will take on neighbours Kenya in a grueling international schedule in the 1st leg of the 2017 Elgon Cup.
Uganda hosts Kenya in the Elgon Cup with Namibia, Zimbabwe, Senegal, Tunisia and Kenya waiting in the Gold Cup.
Forty players take part in training as they wait for announcement of the squad tomorrow, Tuesday June 6, by Rugby Cranes tactician John Duncan.
The Kenya national team known as The Simbas lost 30-29 in their international test match to Germany in Nairobi last weekend and Simiyu Wangila, the Simbas manager promised to avenge against Uganda in the upcoming fixture.
