Uganda Women's Team for the World Rugby Sevens Challenger second leg in Montevideo, Uruguay and All Africa Games in Accra, Ghana has been named.

There are changes to the team that played in Dubai during the opening leg of the Challenger Series as Black Pearl's speedster Grace Auma returns and will give the team speed that it lacked.

Also making a return to the team after a while is Avengers utility back Juliet Nandawula who could be crucial at breakdowns with her quick ball recycling.

Janat Nandudu and Yvone Najjuma make way for Auma and Nandawula with the rest of the group that was in Dubai maintained.

Uganda made history by breaking into the top four in their first-ever challenger series.
