How does it feel knowing that you are going for the World Cup? It’s a great feeling. I think it’s a good opportunity for women’s rugby and for Uganda. I cannot wait to play the worls’ best.
What do you as an individual hope to do at the World Cup that will help Lady Cranes perform well? To play my heart out.
What do you think Uganda’s chances at the World Cup are? We’ve put in a lot of effort and we are determined. I’m looking at the main cup.

Agnes Nantongo has represented Uganda in basketball and splits her time between basketball and rugby. She was nicknamed Wild Thing due to her style of running – legs and arms all over the place – no stop sign. She wants the world to know that she is a true African woman who loves challenges.
