Name: Jeroline Akubu
Nickname: Jero
Occupation: Lawyer
Date of birth: 28/04/1975
How did you get involved in rugby? A friend I used to work out with wanted to join rugby but she was scared to go alone so I went along with her and got hooked. Rugby is a game with the most fun players and fans. It allows one to live on the edge (otherwise one is taking up too much space).
Best rugby moment as a team manager: When the Lady Cranes qualified for the world cup.
Worst rugby moment as a team manager: When Charlotte Mudoola got a concussion during the pool game against Tunisia and was ruled out for the remainder of the tournament. That hurt because she had put so much into rugby and had never missed a training session despite being in her final year of law school.
How do you feel about going for the World Cup? Like hard work actually pays, then you have to pay some more.
What do you think Uganda’s chances at the World Cup are? As good as any team.
Jeroline Akubu actually played rugby at some point in her life – that was before she grew her nails. While in South Africa, her coach had a problem on where to field her: she was (still is) big, fast and tall so she played lock, winger and fullback. Her worst moment as a player was when she sprained her ankle just before the Brown University tour to Uganda so she could not play for her then club, Thunderbirds.
