The Uganda Lady Rugby Cranes took care of Zimbabwe again in the 2021 Rugby Africa Women's Cup winning the Sunday afternoon tie 34-03 at Kyadondo.

Lady Rugby Cranes scored four converted tries, two in each half, coupled with a pair of penalties to follow up the 41-00 win registered on Wednesday.

While the hosts started slow, Charlotte Mudoola's penalty conversion helped calm some nerves and later the Lady Cranes started to take control of the match.

Team captain Peace Lekuru led the team with two tries both of which came on a silver platter following good interplay from fellow backliners.

Despite having a lot of possession, Zimbabwe never really troubled Uganda whose discipline was wanting, getting two (Winnie Atyang and Yvonne Najjuma) players sin-binned. Unlike the first game, Zimbabwe had better scrummaging although their lineouts were terrible.

Emily Lekuru and Faith Namugga scored the second-half tries for Uganda before Delight Dananai converted a penalty for Zimbabwe.

Uganda's head coach Leonard Lubambula will be happy with the results but he still has work to do with combinations and structure of play.
