After three weeks of enjoying the Rugby Cranes battle for pride in the Gold Cup against Tunisia, Morocco and Zimbabwe respectively, the National Guinness Rugby Sevens is back with final circuit dubbed Kitaka Memorial at Legends Rugby Club this Saturday.
Black Pirates go into the final circuit with their champagne on ice as they lead the
log with a 17-point leverage.
Pirates only need to get out of the pool on Saturday to end BetWay Kobs’ three-year dominance in the tournament.
Kobs seat second on the log with 100 points and need a miracle to defend the title. Just like Kobs, third-placed Buffaloes also need divine intervention to claim the title from Pirates’ grip as they can only manage to change positions with Kobs.
The other teams that follow the top three include; Rams, Heathens, Warriors, Hippos, and Rhinos. After the conclusion of the sevens circuit, teams only have two weeks to prepare for the thrills of the Uganda Cup which is set for September.
