How did you first get into rugby? My sister started playing rugby and told me about it so I joined rugby just to have fun. I did not think I would take it up seriously but I got addicted to the game and I love it.

Best rugby moment: When I made tries for my team and we won against Thunderbirds for the first time
Worst rugby moment: When we lost to South Africa in the 2006 CAR 7s
What do you as an individual hope to do at the World Cup that will help Lady Cranes perform well? To support my team mates
What do you think Uganda’s chances at the World Cup are? I believe in all the players who are on that team so feel we stand as good a chance as any other team to win
Joan Andika has represented Uganda in both field hockey and cricket. She enjoys listening to music and having fun in church. Joan earned the nickname Boda Boda due to her ability to weave through opponents in a manner similar to the way boda bodas (motor bikes that ferry passengers) weave through traffic to get to their destinations. Joan missed the qualifiers last year after an injury that left one side of her body paralysed for a couple of days but has worked her way back onto the team and although she did not make the final 12 she is a non-travelling reserve.
