Among the various changes made by head coach John Duncan and his assistant Robert Seguya, Justin Kimono is set to start his first game since returning from a lengthy knee injury.
Kimono last started for the team in 2015 and ended his two-year absence from rugby with substitute appearances against Kenya and Senegal.
This weekend, however, the lightning quick winger will pull on the Rugby Cranes stripe when the side faces off with Tunisia in their third game of the Africa Gold Cup.
With Lawrence Sebuliba still bossing the number fourteen jersey, Kimono will feature at the blind wing in place of James Odong.
Odong will switch to number fifteen with Philip Wokorach moving to number ten in Ivan Magomu’s place.
Kimono’s full return to the team comes with lots of expectations.
He is one of the pure try scorers on the team and his recent history suggests that he will score on Saturday.
Since his debut, Kimono has averaged a try per game.
Uganda has scored five tries in the first two games of the competition and will require a lot more if they are to challenge Namibia and Kenya for the championship.
Namibia top the table with 10 points while Kenya, on 7 points, are second with Uganda coming in at third with 6 points.
Tunisia occupy the last position on the log having lost both their opening two games of the campaign.
