Rhinos vs. Warriors
Heathens vs. Rams
Pirates vs. Impis
KOBS vs. Gulu
Mongers vs. Buffaloes
Rhinos vs Warriors: This game looks to be a real showdown as both teams won their games last Saturday and are on their home turf once again. Though Rimula Rhinos got a big pack and their explosiveness might be there, they struggled in the first half of their last game against Impis. We shall only wait to see what their technical department will bring on board this weekend. For Warriors to neutralise them, they will need to deploy a tight defense and be quick at the breakdown. The two teams have back lines that can match each other, thus the better prepared side on the day will come up victorious. Scott Olwoch and Daudi Semwami seem to have had a great game last weekend and might look to make that game better against the warriors while Owen Kinyera and Brian Seruyange might be the reason for Rhinos to bring their all.
Hima Cement Heathens vs Rams: Heathens being at home and having rested on the weekend against Gulu Elephants who did not make the trip, they are likely to put some good points against Rams though that might not come easily due to the determination of the opposition players like Lumu Richard. So far Rams look to be playing more structured rugby and if they stick to it, they are likely to put a good number of points on board. They however will have to watch for Aaron Oforothy and Vincent Mose who after a week off, who knows that they could unleash out on that field.
Black Pirates vs Impis: Impis is a respectable side which can cause problems to Black Pirates come Saturday. The first round results did not reflect the play on the pitch though Pirates won it 28 - 07. However with the return of most of the students after that two month closure of the Makerere University, players are ready to put everything on line for the win. Meanwhile Black Pirates are ready for whatever will come their way as they still enjoy the second position on the table standing. Impis better watch out for Conrad Wanyama who seems to be unstoppable when he has his eye for the try line and Marvin Odongo who might come back with a vengeance considering his absence from the field last weekend. But on the other hand Pirates had better watch out for the man himself, PJ.
Betway Kobs vs Gulu Elephants: Gulu Elephants are not good travellers when it comes to away games but let us wait to see what they will bring to Betway Kobs on Saturday at Legends Rugby Club. Betway Kobs are in 3rd position at the moment and are looking forward to stepping their game up this week. KOBS has had two very interesting weekends with quite big disappointments of sorts. Gulu had better bring it's all because the KOBS are looking to start off the second leg of this season with a victory befitting of their side and hopefully the chance to make up for the bonus point Buffaloes robbed them of last weekend. However Kobs has to keep their eye on Marlon Adebua while Gulu better watch out for Joseph Aredo, Brian Odongo and Kiwalabye Davis who of late seem to be forces to be reckoned with.
Sadolin Mongers vs Toyota Buffaloes: Sadolin Mongers are hosting Toyota Buffaloes in Entebbe having sorted them out in the first round by 35 - 07. At the time most of their senior players were preparing for the Dubai and Cape Town HSBC Sevens Series. But all of them are back and ready to revenge for the first defeat and assure their fans of good things to come on the pitch. But Buffaloes won't have it easy as John Wandicho, Elijah Segawa,Capt., Adrian Wasswa and Jerome Buyonga will give them a run for their money as they battle to redeem their side from their loss against Warriors last weekend. But who said Mongers are the only ones seeking redemption, after a controversial game against Betway Kobs last weekend, Pius Ogena, Erick Kasita, Kevin Keremundu and Fred Odur too will be looking for a victory.
We at 256 will be watching and wish all of the teams the best. We can never truly predict how things may play out on the field as we await to see what will happen on that day. So just come out and support rugby.
May the best teams win.
