This weekend is a massive game for our league campaign going forward and we are going to approach it with a lot of strength and determination, we know Kobs is going to bring the game to us at our own backyard, but we have prepared perfectly for this game.

I am glad and happy that the Nile Special Rugby League is back and in full gear with a full season of 18 games, the pandemic slowed down so many teams since we didn’t get much time to train however we have managed to get preparations done in the shortest time possible and we are fired up as a team. We don’t expect a simple game but rather a challenge for us. The lions cup is back, we plan to defend it and play our game as planned and to the best of our strengths. My boys were abit rusty but they showed their hunger and zeal to dominate. Hello Rugby Fanatics out there…it is great to have the Nile Special rugby league back.įirst game against Impis was great.both teams showed they missed 15s rugby. A few Captains at the launch of the Nile Special Rugby Premier League. Here is what your Captain’s run looks like. The rugby fanatics also went through the captains of all the premiership teams to find out what they feel about the return of the league, how game day one was for them and what they hope game day two will be like. Before any rugby match day there is always a captain’s run, the session where the team practically goes through their game play and what they expect to put out on game day. Best news to happen to the Rugby Fanatics out there, we tried to engage a few stakeholders to get their views about the league. With the return of the Nile Special Rugby league last weekend. And from me, all the best to the UGANDA NATIONAL TEAMS. With all this, I can only ask how Uganda Rugby is going to manage the workload of key players like Phillip Wokorach, Pius Ogena, Byron Oketayot, Desire Ayera, to mention but a few.
