🇺🇬 The 2026 #UgandaRugby XVs Champions A victory wall from elite club games to schoolboy breakthroughs in a single narrative tapestry What the graphic cannot fully carry is the texture behind the results. The emotional weight of one-point finals, the tactical battles that never show up in scorelines, the emergence of standout individuals who shifted matches without ever being named, and the administrative and financial pressures that shaped participation, especially in women’s rugby and relegation disputes.

Argentina is leading a four-country South American bid to host the #RWC2035 The proposed venues include 10 major stadiums: 7 in 🇦🇷, plus the Maracanã in 🇧🇷, Estadio Nacional in 🇨🇱 and Estadio Centenario in 🇺🇾 The bigger strategic pitch is obvious: South America has never hosted a men’s RWC World Rugby will visit candidate venues, announce preferred hosts in May 2027, and the final decision is expected in Nov 2027 Other countries reported as interested/candidates include 🇯🇵 and 🇪🇸, with 🇿🇦 and 🇮🇹 also mentioned in reporting.

🇿🇲 Zambia Rugby League Standings ROUND TWO - WEEK THIRTEEN

🇰🇪 The Chief Principal Paul Weloba has DEEP rugby pedigree - he is former player, coach, a referee & administrator. He had rugby success at Kakamega High + Alliance High That Principal has brought in Coach Shimenga Livondo, formerly at St Peter’s Mumias & Butula Boys And now they are upgrading the rugby pitch at school KSSSA & FEASSA be very worried

We know @OfficialKRU had the #Safari7s launch today, but not having even a single representative at this event is bad optics. Very bad optics. Hopefully, there’s a good reason for the absence. Most importantly, though, we hope to see you at the dinner.

A beautiful and fitting tribute. Warren Abrahams 🕊️ left an indelible mark on the game - a coach and a mentor whose passion for developing players transcended borders. Naming the 2026 #Safari7s women’s trophy in his honour ensures his legacy lives on every time the silverware is lifted. Rest in peace, Coach.

🇰🇪🌍 #Safari7s 2026 pools confirmed They have put the men’s finalists in the same pool 🤦‍♀️ And wow, unfortunately Costa Blanca Barbarians will miss out but we are happy to see 🇿🇦 Tuks Women - this means both 2026 #Mauritius7s Champions will be in Nairobi

🇺🇬|🇰🇪 KRU officially launches the 28th #Safari7s today at Nyayo, as #UgandaRugby’s Yasin Waiswa, Malcolm Okello & team are locking in The timing feels deliberate… 
Safari 7s 2026 runs 9–11 October at Nyayo, featuring 12 men’s teams and 6 women’s sides.

🇱🇸 Lesotho welcome a new DoR, @MaceyRugby 🤩💪 And the timing couldn’t be better, with the 🇱🇸🇸🇿🇧🇼 BOLESWA Tri-National Games coming up later this month. 📅 24 Oct: Lesotho 🇱🇸 vs Eswatini 🇸🇿 📅 28 Oct: Lesotho 🇱🇸 vs Botswana 🇧🇼 📅 31 Oct: Eswatini 🇸🇿 vs Botswana 🇧🇼

Only 2 jerseys had names on them “AYIMBA” & “NYANGIGE” Unusual but permitted, and it fits the public framing of his career. And those huge shirt numbers Kenya Shujaa routinely uses high personal numbers. - Floyd Wabwire 25, William Mwanji 19, Brian Mutua 33, Brayan Ondego 37 - Clinton Amukwachi 77 - Gabriel Ayimba himself listed as 30 in the 2026 HSBC SVNS squad announcement then 55 in #Mauritius7s Some players have publicly explained the choices: 1. Mwanji’s 19 is the date he lost his father 2. Mutua’s 33 cites Jeremiah 33:3 3. Wabwire’s 25 is “a unique number” he wants associated with his career Would be cool to know why the Mauritius Shujaa chose 77, 67, 33, 29 and 55 etc
