Kinene, Sseguya take charge of Rugby Cranes

With the schedule of the South Africa tactician John Duncan still unknown, coaches Anthony Kinene and Robert Sseguya will take over the Rugby Cranes team that starts preparations for the Elgon Cup and the Rugby Africa 1B games later this year in June and July.

Pirates' coach Kinene and Heathens' Sseguya will put aside their club differences to draw a winning strategy for the national team to be able to stay in the Rugby Africa 1A and also defend the Elgon Cup title won last year.

"We are yet to know the schedule of Duncan because it is determined by Cheetah's club, but Kinene and Sseguya will take charge for the time being," URU CEO Ramsey Olinga confirmed the development.

Duncan together with Kinene and Sseguya handled the team in the Elgon Cup against Kenya and Rugby Africa 1B last year emerging victorious in a tournament that had Mauritius, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Madagascar.
