Best rugby moment: When we beat Tunisia last year to qualify for the World Cup
Worst rugby moment: Losing to South Africa in the Nelson Mandela Bay 7s in South Africa. It was the largest loss we had ever suffered.
How does it feel knowing that you are going for the World Cup? It feels good. Going for the world cup has always been my dream and I am very proud to play for my country. I am psyched up and more than ready to meet any team.
What do you think Uganda’s chances at the World Cup are? We have all it takes to be world champions. I think we can bring home the trophy.
Other than rugby WInnie Atyang also plays basketball and football but her aggression is better suited to the fantastic sport of rugby. She would like the world to know that she is a true African with a winning attitude. Victory is the only thing that she always wants.
