Philip Wokorach will wear the number ten shirt when the Rugby Cranes face off with Tunisia at Legends on Saturday.
Criticized for his sluggish displays in open play at fullback, Wokorach is set to pair up with Aaron Ofoyrwoth as the half backs.
Wokorach takes Ivan Magomu’s slot at fly-half with James Odong taking his number fifteen jersey on the day.
It is the third time the Cranes will have a new pairing at half back.
The two Ivans — Kirabo and Magomu played against Kenya in the Elgon Cup before another Ivan, Makmot replaced Kirabo in Senegal to partner Magomu.
Magomu has not had a breather since the start of Uganda’s busy schedule and will start from the bench.
Wokorach featured at number 10 against Namibia last year with Aredo taking his fullback position in the second half of the game.
The employment of Wokorach at 10 leaves question marks on Chris Lubanga’s future with the team.
The veteran has been training with the side but is yet to get a place in the match day squad.
Uganda is third on the log with 6 points, a point behind second placed Kenya and 4 behind log leaders Namibia.
