Before the break, Floyd Wabwire,a standout performer on the day slipped past defenders to score the third try, with Siketi again flawless from the tee. The Morans led 21-0 at halftime.

After a scoreless first half, Dennis Abukuse sliced through Uganda’s line to touch down under the posts. He converted his own try to break the deadlock.
Shortly after, George Ooro capitalized on a loose Ugandan defense to score the second try. Though the conversion was missed, the Morans had a healthy 12-0 cushion. Uganda replied with a late unconverted try to cut the deficit to 12-5, but Kenya held firm to close the game and the day—undefeated.
With three wins from three, the Morans top Pool A heading into Day Two.
Kenya will now shift focus to the knockout stages, where sterner tests await. But with zero points conceded in two of three matches, and all units firing, the Morans have sent a strong message, they're here to compete and contend.
