A lot of rugby has been played by all 12 teams in the league across the regular season and playoff stages, but it all comes down to the Black Pirates and Buffaloes.

Some teams, like the Kakira Simbas, have played as few as 11 games, while the Pirates are going to play 15 out of 16 games owing to that Kakira walkover.

The Buffaloes, on the other hand, are going to all 16 games, with a record of 11 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, with one game pending.

My combined team from the finalists comprises the players who were impressive throughout the season, with some passing the eye test, while others have the numbers to back up their game.
