Betway Kobs kept pressure the Nile Special Stout Rugby Premier League leaders following a comfortable 45-06 win over Warriors at Legends Rugby Club on Saturday.

Kobs went into the game nine points behind Heathens who had earlier beaten Rams at Kyadondo Rugby Club.

Warriors played good defense in the opening twenty minutes of the game to keep Kobs at bay but were pegged back by a controversial decision from referee Rose Kanyunyuzi that led to Kobs first try.

The referee called for a knock-on against Kobs and later turn it into an offside call against Warriors after a short medical break and Ian Munyani scored after the restart with Ivan Kirabo converting leaving Warriors bench livid.
