Coach Yayiro Kasasa showed that he didnot miss his assistants who, owing to financial constraints, failed to travel to Jemmel, Tunisia. The Rugby Cranes eliminated titleholders Kenya Lions 21-19 on Tuesday night to earn automatic qualification to the 2015 IRB World Cup qualifiers.
Two tries from Scott Olouch and Brian Odongo, a conversion and two penalties from scrumhalf Anthony Kinene counted but Benon Kiiza’s last penalty kick sent Uganda to the final. They will face Zimbabwe as they seek to earn a feat they earned in 2007. The Rugby Cranes defeated Madagascar 42-11 in Antananarivo.
Zimbabwe ejected the hosts 30-14 in the other semifinal of the Confederation of Africa Rugby 1A tier. Back in April, the Cranes still edged out the Lions 19-16 over two legs at Kyadondo and RFUEA grounds. You reckon an exciting final on Saturday in Jemmel.
