The management of the Rugby Cranes Sevens (Uganda national rugby 7s team) has summoned a provisional squad of 26 players to start preparations for the 2022 cycle.
Rugby Cranes 7s have a busy 2022 with the continental showpiece, Rugby Africa Cup on the cards. The event will double as a qualifier for Commonwealth Games and Rugby 7s World Cup, all scheduled for next year.
“The Uganda Rugby 7s Team intends to not only qualify for these games but to win the Rugby Africa 7s Tournament and to continue scaling heights both continentally and Internationally,” Uganda Rugby Union (URU) said in a statement.
