UTL Kobs look set for another comfortable win against Rhinos in the early kick off this Friday, as Kyadondo grounds gears up for a cracking derby between defending champions MTN Heathens and dark horses Toyota Buffaloes. Fanzone team will be on hand to activate both matches

 

UTL Kobs versus Rhinos

Kobs have scored 175 points while Rhinos have the paltry 6 points. On paper this shows a huge gulf in class between both sides. Rhinos will do well to deny Kobs a bonus point victory, as a win appears too farfetched an idea. Even the bonus point denial is a far cry.Nevertheless it’s still a good way to kick off the weekend.

Prediction: Kobs win by 45 points margin.

MTN Heathens vs. Toyota Buffaloes

 

Heathens face fellow stable mates Buffaloes in a battle for supremacy at Kyadondo rugby club. Toyota Buffaloes though loosing the opening game of the season bounced back with the first upset of the season defeating Sadolin Mongers. Heathens though notching up comfortable victories have been hit by a number of injuries that has decimated their backline. Michael Wokorach, Evans Kingasia, Benon Kizza and Gerald Sewankambo all face a race against time to get match fit. Even coach Brian Tabaruka has had to include himself on the team list. This will be a very bruising encounter for both sides .

 

Prediction: Heathens still have the advantage of a solid forward line. Buffaloes have no answer to that and will lose by 35 points.

G4S Pirates vs. XFm Impis

Pirates picked up their first bonus point victory against Rhinos in a game they should have scored more points.Impis on the other hand languish just above the relegation zone and nothing seems to be working for the university students.

Prediction: Pirates will discover their scoring in this game with a 45 point margin, bonus point win.

 

Sadolin Mongers vs. Nile

Nile has conceded 187 points against 3 points. Clearly that is relegation form. Mongers will look to bounce back at the house of pain after their upset defeat to Buffaloes last week.

Prediction: Walk in the park for Mongers.58 point margin win for the hosts.
