Ahead of the Rugby Africa Women’s Sevens in Tunisia, the ladies’ squad for Uganda has been named.
Uganda will return to Tunisia for the games, hoping to better their record from 2022, where they ended the tournament ranked fourth.
The National 7s team reached the semifinals of the Africa Women’s 7s in Tunisia – famously winning 10-07 against noisy neighbours, Kenya.
Uganda was drawn in Pool A alongside South Africa, Tunisia and Zimbabwe. Uganda defeated Zimbabwe in the quarterfinals of the 2022 edition, winning 10-00, but lost to Tunisia 17-15 in the third-place playoff.
