Revenge in sight as Uganda sets up date with Germany in Bowl Finals

Uganda recovered from losing a chance at round of 16 in the opener against Samoa and bounced back with successive victories on day two of the World Cup.

In the first match of the day, Uganda saw off Republic of Korea, winning 12-00 to advance to the semi-final of the placement games. Phillip Wokorach scored a try and Norbert Okeny made a grand entry doubling Uganda’s advantage to progress.

Uganda Rugby fans cheer on the team Pulse

In the semi-finals, Uganda defeated Hong Kong 14-5 to reach the bowl final with Adrian Kasito and the new revelation Nobert Okeny setting a crunch tie against Germany.

The bowl finals slated for Sunday will be an emotional affair for the Ugandan team that came close to achieving the dream qualification to the lucrative HBSC series only to be knocked out by Germany thanks to very scandalous officiation in Chile at the World Challenger Series.

The referee made very controversial calls that enabled Germany muscle their way from a 14-00 lead to a 14-17 win over Uganda that seemed to have progressed.

Heartbroken players broke down at final whistle and some swore to retire from the game altogether. A section of frustrated fans launched an online petition urging World Rugby to review the match, all in vain.

The bowl finals is slated for 10.30 am.
