ESSI Ruhango has been invited to compete in this Schools’ Independence 7s tournament that will be played on October 9 at Kampala rugby club.

The local rugby federation’s technical director Gerald Nsenga told Sunday Sport yesterday that Essie Ruhango was picked after staging a good show in the just concluded East Africa schools’ tournament held in Mbarara last month.

"Essie Ruhango starts training next week and we believe they will stage a good show following their recent performances,” added Nsenga.

The tournament is expected to attract stiff competition from schools representing Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Uganda and England.
