As this year’s Nile special premier rugby season enters week 5, top guns, defending champions, MTN Heathens and UTL Kobs face tough tests today. The Heathens who lost a bonus point against Buffaloes a fortnight ago lie a point behind the summit leaders, Kobs who are on 20.
Heathens’ trip to Entebbe grounds, the house of pain will not be a mere walkover like any of the Yellow machines will think. The Sadolin Mongers lost 23-18 to the Pirates seven days ago and Kigongo Sebalamu, the Mongers’ expects a much descent display from his young squad.
The Kobs who are the only side with a 100% record and yet to lose a point in the league will face the G4S Pirates who are third on the table.
Meanwhile, the XFM Impis who had an away win in Jinja last week host stubborn Toyota Buffaloes in Makerere. Buffaloes’ teenage fullback, Phillip Wokorach who scored 3 penalties against the Uganda cup holders last weekend is still having academic commitments but he will feature if available.
Nile who are having a torrid time will travel to Kampala to play the rusty Rhinos at Kampala rugby club. The Nile-Rhinos fight and the Kobs’ tie will share the same venue. Nationwide league central resumes also with Stallions facing Boks at Kyadondo and Bootkamp will lock horns with G4S Pirates 2, a lunchtime kickoff at Kampala rugby grounds.
