How did you first get into rugby? I played soccer in high school and a team mate told me about it. I wanted to find out what she was on about so I gave it a shot after high school. Trust me I never want to go back to playing soccer.
Favourite local rugby players(s): Robert Sseguya (MTN Heathens & Uganda), Edmond Tumsusiime (UTL Kobs & Uganda), Allan Musoke (UTL Kobs & Uganda)
Favourite international rugby player(s): John Smit
Rugby awards won: 2005 Thunderbirds most improved player, 2008 Thunderbirds best back, Runner up WRWC qualifiers, Runner up 2008 Nelson Mandela Bay 7s
Best rugby moment: Qualifying for the 7s World Cup after defeating Tunisia
Worst rugby moment: Losing to Kenya in the return leg of the Elgon Cup in 2008 (15’s rugby)
How does it feel knowing that you are going for the World Cup? I feel great and privileged to represent my country. I feel lucky to be part of sports history in our country.
What do you as an individual hope to do at the World Cup that will help Lady Cranes perform well? To play my best and let the world know that we have what it takes.
What do you think Uganda’s chances at the World Cup are? We are capable of anything: even winning the main cup.
Rosenburg Kanyunyuzi laughter dominates the Lady Cranes’ training sessions and is always in a state of happiness. She loves rugby but is intent on somehow retaining her curves. The former football player turned rugby player coaches both tag rugby and contact rugby to under 14 boys. Away from rugby, she loves watching movies and dancing but sleeping is right at the top of her favourite relaxation activities.
