Uganda Rugby Cranes will be looking to make amends when they take on Burkina Faso in a classification game of the Rugby Africa Cup.

Rugby Cranes are now playing for the highest possible fifth-place finish which can only be achieved by winning their next two matches starting with Burkina Faso on Wednesday afternoon.

The 23-man squad for the game was named after the captain’s run on Tuesday afternoon with two changes made to the starting 15. Alex Aturinda and Joseph Aredo will start in place of Moses Zziwa and Jones Kamiza who sustained their injuries in the quarterfinal loss against Zimbabwe Sables on Saturday.

The coaches went with a 6-2 bench split again and utility back Pool Kalungi is in line to make his debut off the bench with Joseph Oyet the other back named on the bench.
