Desire Ayera, Isaac Masanganzira and Aaron Ofoyrwoth are back in Uganda's Sevens team that will compete at the Africa Sevens this weekend in Mauritius.

The trio missed the Olympic Repechage last weekend but have been included in the squad to replace Roy Kizito, Allan Olango and William Nkore.

Denis Etwau is also back in the team and replaces Jinja Hippos' teammate Timothy Mugisha.

The team departs for Mauritius on Thursday.

It should be noted that for the first time in history, the Rugby Africa Men’s 7s tournament will be played over two rounds at Labourdonnais Sports Club in Mapou from June 29-30 and July 6-7.

Twelve nations will compete in both rounds of the tournament with the winner to be determined by points collected after the two rounds.
