G4S pirates, MTN Heathens’ captain, Alex Mubiru and Rugby Cranes Winger Denis Etuket have been ruled out of the Rwenzori side.

Rwenzori side will clash with Victoria in the Bamburi Super series match which kicks off on Tuesday.

Uganda Rugby race has heated up

Etuket and Mubiru have head injuries they sustained during last weekend’s meet when the two crashed into each other and eventually ruled out of the Rwenzori Franchise side.

Rwenzori and Cranes Coach Ham Osando says the two are out but he is monitoring former Cranes captain Timothy Mudoola’s fitness after the player also sustained an injury recently in Entebbe.

Osando will also miss Flanker Robert Sseguya who is away on official. The Pirates will also miss the services of Timothy Ddumba who is nursing an injury. Rwenzori and Victoria will represent Uganda at the International Bamburi Super series this Tuesday at Kyadondo Rugny Club in Kampala.

The Uganda Rugby Union has received another major boast in preparation of the 8th edition of the Bamburi international rugby Super series tournament that kicks off over the weekend.

Uganda Rugby received financial boost

UAP Insurance has donated 10 million shillings towards the tournament as money meant for organization of teams in Uganda on top of the 270 million shillings from the bamburi cement.

Bamburi Cement marketing coordinator Serina Zalwango says the boast is timely because it signifies a bond between Rugby and Insurance.

The Bamburi rugby super series tournament took place on the 27th of March 2010 in all the East African Capital cities where Ugandan franchise side Rwenzori managed to reach the semi finals.
