Rugby body lands KShs 75 Million sponsorship with Supersport
The South African pay TV company will be in Uganda for at least three more years after announcing a landmark US$750,000 (about Kshs 75 Million) deal with Uganda Rugby Union (URU) at the Kampala Serena Hotel yesterday.
“The partnership will help open up more doors for Ugandan rugby with various links in South Africa where rugby is played at a professional level,” Gary Rathbone told the media. “The URU is an exciting, ambitious union with a vision to take the game to another level in East Africa.”
URU chairman William Blick promised even more. “We expect about Shs450m (Kshs 18 Million) to be generated in form of revenue from local and international companies.”

And the KRU is content on developing Kenya 15s on handouts. Remember that URU basically concentrates on 15s i.e. real rugby, but Kenya rugby Union is bent on the 7s glory. Rumour(truth) has it that the 7s team players are now in a contract earning close to some six figure every month whereas 15s players are still on handouts. RIP Kenya 15s. KRU cares less about real rugby....it needs to look at why Japan, a minnow the other day is perfoming so well against tier 1 nations in RWC... Lets do it Bokke
