It was a much better day for Ugandan fans at the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens as the national team won two games to move into the Bowl finals in Cape Town, South Africa.
Uganda overcame South Korea 12-0 in the Bowl quarterfinals then edged Hong Kong 14-5 in the semis.
In the first game, there were tries for Philip Wokoracha and Nobert Okeny in the chilly weather.
Undeterred by the cold, Okeny and Adrian Kasito bagged tries against Hong Kong to book a final clash against Germany on Sunday.
Coach Tolbert Onyango's team have never beaten Germany but are guaranteed to finish higher than they did at the last World Cup in USA four years ago when Uganda came 19th.
