A 30 minute session for the Panthers Rugby Club and Black Pearls Rugby Club forwards on scrummaging, with an emphasis on the tight 5, was held by Victor Wadia, a former Uganda Rugby Cranes international player and the current head coach for Panthers. This equipped the players with the correct technique such that they can scrummage safely during matches.
