The Uganda Rugby Union is yet in another ‘big scandal’ in a space of weeks after an allowance scandal was settled after a public cry from the senior players, this time round only 16 (under 19) players traveled to Madagascar for Africa under19 , Tier 1B tournament yet a full rugby squad has 24 players.
To everyone’s surprise, the team didn’t go with any susbistutes. We all know rugby is a contact sport and players suffer injuries. Latest news from Madagascar, is that we were beaten like chicken thieves ,because the coach couldn’t substitute some injured players.We have another match on Sunday.
Can the Uganda Rugby Union explain;
1. Why they took less players.
2.If the players got allowances.
3.Why some players were told, they would travel 24 hrs after the first group flew out, but were later told that Union has no money.
4.Why the players were told to pay for passports, yet the were going to represent the Country.
5.Did the Union pay for the tickets or the international Rugby Board? Honestly, enough is enough. Heads must roll this time round as the nation searches for answers.
