Rugby Cranes 7s picked themselves up in the Quarterfinal against the Republic of Korea, winning 12-00 to advance to the semifinal.
Uganda lost their opener against Samoa 33-7 yesterday morning in the main cup thereby settling for Bowl action.
Philip Wokorach and Norbert Okeny scored a try each as Aaron Ofoyrwoth added the extras.
Wokorach’s try was a team effort affair as Uganda swiftly turned defense into offense while Okeny’s had individual brilliance and power allover it as he reached the whitewash with three opponents on the ground.
Despite the win, coach Tolbert Onyango acknowledged that the team still has work on their hands to maintain their structure and progress further in the tournament.
Uganda will be in action again today at 3:23 in the Bowl Semifinal against Hong Kong.
