Uganda names rugby squad for regional Elgon Cup

KAMPALA, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Uganda national rugby team head coach Robert Seguya has named his final squad to face neighbors Kenya in the regional Elgon Cup.

Seguya told Xinhua on Monday that he expects his side to put up a good fight against Kenya, who have won the cup several times in the recent past.

"We have lost several times to Kenya in the Elgon Cup. But we must make this time count and make sure we get a good result away, because it determines a lot what happens in the return leg," Seguya said, noting that the team will travel to the western Kenyan town of Kisumu on June 22 for the first leg.
