THE Rugby Cranes’ coach will concentrate on building the teams’ psychological capacity to handle the pressure during away fixtures in a bid to reclaim the Elgon Cup Uganda last won in 2006 in Nairobi.
Yayiro Kasasa disclosed in an interview after the launch of the sevenths Edition of the Elgon Cup due April 21 in Kampala and the return leg on April 28 in Nairobi.
“Enough is enough; we to arrest slide and restore a competitive edge. We have recorded some impressive score-lines at home but lost the title on a 2-4 point margin and that is why we have to put on a respectable show away,” Kasasa stated.
“We are to rectify our problems which have been giving away easy penalties due to indiscipline of players that don’t respect the team’s discussions on how to react to situations and decision taking which this time we are acting tough on it,” Kasasa stressed.
The Rugby Cranes lost the 2012 title on a 45-42 points aggregate after the 27-10 defeat in Nairobi and the 32-18 victory in the return leg at Kyadondo rugby club.
