Name: Robert Sseguya
Nickname: Soggy
Occupation: EHS Officer
Date of birth: 17/08/1978
Role: Assistant coach
How did you get involved in coaching women’s rugby? It’s about five years down the road when a group of girls lead by Helen Buteme approached me to coach them as they had formed a new ladies rugby team but it lacked a coach, so from then I have not looked back.
Best rugby moment as a coach: When I saw my team defeat Tunisia in a do or die qualifier game after losing to them the day before.
Worst rugby moment as a coach: When I could not field my best team for the world cup qualifiers due to injuries and indiscipline amongst players.
How do you feel about going for the World Cup? It doesn’t happen always and not every one can have a chance to represent his/her country at this level! It’s a blessing.
What do you think Uganda’s chances at the World Cup are? Top 8 finish.
Robert Sseguya has represented Uganda in both the 7 aside and 15 aside codes of the game (actually he still does). He has won numerous MVP awards and in 2007 he captained the African Leopards team (a team comprising the best 15 aside players from all over Africa – with the exception of South Africa). As a coach, Soggy is a hard task master and he insists that he does not coach women – he coaches rugby players. He believes that rugby is safely played by both sexes and its inclusion in the Olympic games is long over due.
