The rugby fraternity is mourning the death of Robert Seguya who lost his battle to leukaemia.

Seguya who is widely viewed as one of Uganda’s greatest rugby players passed away on Tuesday aged 43.

He captained the Rugby Cranes as well as the Heathens in the national rugby league. He also coached both teams upon retiring from playing before taking up a similar role with Jinja based Hippos.

We relive Seguya’s glittering trophy-laden career that featured two continental titles for Uganda and five league titles.
