Tag Rugby Trust – Uganda 2010 … First Phase (Jinja) complete

The first weeks training schedule and Tournament have been completed and was a fantastic success. As is usual with TRT Tours, the volunteers found the first few days to be chaotic with group sizes varying from 30 to more than 80! The enthusiasm and athleticism of the children has been extraordinary and all the coaches have been blown away by it.

Tag Rugby Trust Tour Season 2010 gets underway in Uganda

Regina gets better and better

Currently, there’s no scrumhalf in Uganda as good as her. We travel to Kenya next weekend and I think she stands a good chance of making it onto the final 22 because she has been included on the training squad again. I hope she gets on, she really deserves it.

Tour season is getting close
