To say that the Uganda rugby fans were not pleased after the Rugby Cranes lost to the Kenya Simbas is an understatement. The 23, as they are commonly known, wasted no time in taking to social media to express their displeasure at the Uganda Rugby Union and the Rugby Cranes immediately after the final whistle when the scoreboard was reading 32-24 to the Kenya Simbas.
Very early on Wednesday at 6:30 a.m., Twitter (X) user @ChrisMyco0 woke up to think out loud, “But why did we lose that game?” This has been the question on every fan’s lips (or in this case, fingertips) since Tuesday evening, with some hilarious rants and in some cases, constructive criticism, thrown around on social media.
Rival fans as well chimed in with banter and digs at their Ugandan counterparts, reminding them that the Simbas are no match for the cranes. Here are some opinions, rants, banter and advice via social media platform X.
