Start rugby preps now
SIR - After losing South African instructor Chester Williams, the Uganda Rugby Union (URU) should not be slack in hiring another high-level coach.
It is always easy to get to the top but very difficult to maintain the standards. Under Williams there was a visible improvement in the performance of the Rugby Cranes last year.
I strongly believe that Williams’ lessons were of great benefit, particularly to what Yayiro Kasasa had already put in place.
The national team will take on Namibia soon in the CAR championship and there is need to shape the squad early.
Many of the players are rusty and some including captain Peter Magona have retired, leaving the team in a sorry state.
If Uganda is to have any good results again both on the region and continent, there is need for early preparations and therefore a coach should be acquired soon. Remember, the early bird catches the worm.

Give us more African football
SIR - As a daily reader of the New Vision, I am bewildered that the Under-20 African Youth Championship has come and gone in Congo Brazzaville, and your readers were kept in the dark.
That was also the case when the African Women Championship took place last year. There are also other examples.
Everyday, we are shown the faces of footballers from Europe. Isn’t it time your publication became a truly African paper?
