KAMPALA, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- Uganda Rugby Cranes have moved to third place on the log after defeating Tunisia 67-12 in a 2019 Rugby World Cup qualifier/Africa Gold Cup match played on Saturday in Kampala.

The home side took a 25-5 half time lead before they returned to score more tries to send the fans into jubilations.

Fullback Hossem Khalfi and Mohamed Achref Dhif scored the two tries for Tunisia, with Hossem Khalfi scoring one conversion.

The home side picked four tries by Philip Wokorach, two from Solomon Okia and pone apiece by Robert Masindi, Micheal Okorach, Asuman Mugerwa and Aaron Ofoyrwoth.

"We are very happy that after losing to Namibia and Kenya we have now reorganized and picked a big win over Tunisia. We need to keep the momentum high to win our remaining two home games against Morocco and Zimbabwe," John Duncan, Uganda Rugby Cranes coach told Xinhua after the game.

Tunisia's try scorer Khalfi said they were disappointed with the defeat. "We tried to push the Ugandan team, but failed to match their game approach," said Khalfi.

Uganda Rugby Cranes have now moved to third place with five points, while Namibia are top with 20 points and Kenya with 12 points. Tunisia with four points now dropped to fourth place, while Zimbabwe and Morocco are now fifth and sixth respectively.
