Rugby Africa Women’s 7s – Pool Phase Results:
• Match One: Uganda 50-00 Burkina Faso
• Match Two: Uganda 20-14 Zambia
Uganda has completed the pool phase at the 2025 Rugby Africa Women’s 7s in Nairobi with a clean record following two victories over Burkina Faso and Zambia.
The Lady Rugby Cranes flew over Burkina Faso by an unanswered half-century in a match where the gap in quality and experience was clear for all to see. Burkina Faso got a baptism by fire while Uganda had a soft landing on their return to the RFUEA Grounds a month after the Safari 7s.
However, Zambia brought the Lady Rugby Cranes back to earth. The Southern Africans scored two tries; capitalising on mistakes made on attack. Additionally, the Lady Rugby Cranes were unable to convert any of their tries, even right in front of the poles.
Perhaps that’s the wake-up call Uganda needed as the tournament geared up for the business end.
Uganda topped Pool C and will face Tunisia in the Quarterfinals on Day Two (Sunday).
