The Uganda Rugby Cranes XVs are back on home soil after a demanding tour of Southern Africa, setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling home campaign at the 2025 Rugby Africa Cup. With just about a week to kickoff, Uganda has not only welcomed its national team but is also the first participating country with boots on the ground.
The Cranes' tour included a narrow 22-19 loss to Namibia in Walvis Bay, a convincing 57-26 win over Limpopo Blue Bulls, and a tough 102-00 defeat to South Africa’s Pumas. While results were mixed, the experience was vital and now all eyes turn to Uganda, where the continental showdown begins.
And for fans across the country and continent unable to go to the Mandela National Stadium - Namboole, there’s only one destination to catch it all: NBS Sport.
