He was captain when Uganda won the Plate at the Kenya Safari 7s five years ago and has also led the national team at under-19 level.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, this is his biggest challenge. His assistant Evans Kingasia also has only two national caps under his belt. &#8220;Away games need character and the message to every player is to stand tall,&#8221; Mubiru added.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the team was hit by the news of the withdrawals of flanker Robert Seguya, centre Tony Luggya and fullback Simon Wakabi due to work commitments.
