Betway Kobs will be represented by four of their own when the Uganda Sevens team plays at this year's Africa Sevens Championship in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Seasoned campaigners Pius Ogena, Adrian Kasito, Joseph Aredo and Ian Munyani have all been named on the final team to represent the country this weekend.
The four will use their experience to help Uganda compete for not only the African title but also a place at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Uganda will be boosted by the return of James Odongo and Lawrence Ssebuliba.
The two have been sidelined by injuries for over a year and their return to international 7s rugby will give head coach Tolbert Onyango the required quality on the wings.
Odongo and Sebuliba return as direct replacements for Solomon Okia and Timothy Odongo, who featured at the Safari 7s. Okia suffered an injury in Nairobi.
Levis Ocen, Philip Wokorach and Isaac Massa also make the team at the expense of William Nkore, Desire Ayera and Norbert Okeny.
