Fimbo takes on Magicians today Friday, 11th April, as both franchises seek better reputation and 2 million Uganda Shillings prize, the 3rd ranked franchise earns in the Protector Rugby Super Series.
Magicians find themselves in this situation, having failed to upstage Crocs last weekend, who beat them 16:25, to losing second place on the table log of the series.
Along with the loss came another, which was an opportunity to feature as team in the Bamburi Rugby Super Series.
Magicians who comprise Mongers, Stallions, Buffaloes and Heathens league players will now embark on defeating Fimbo this friday, the only team they have beaten in this competition.
Magicians’ coach Brian Tindimweba, however faces a daunting task, despite their 08-03 victory the first battle against fast improving Fimbo.
Coach Sam Ahamya’s Fimbo franchise which is made up of Pirates and Rhinos players also seek their first series victory, having lost twice, drawing 20:20 against Protectors last weekend.
Fimbo are expected to mainly rely on lock Ivan Wavamuno, Byron Atubikire, Ronald Adigasi, Isaac Rujumba, Brian Jjemba and Chonga Gordon while Magicians may capitalize on the stength of last weekend’s penalty scorer Joseph Oyet, Tonny Luggya and Kenneth Opita.
