Impis v Kobs
Shield
Buffaloes v Rams
Boks v Mongers
Sunday
Schools League
Namilyango v Mwiri
It will be a quiet weekend for Ugandan rugby, with only one Super Six game when Mango Kobs travel to Makerere to take on the Impis.
This will be the first of several games that had to be re-scheduled because the students were on holiday.
Given that the university only re-opened two weeks ago, it will be interesting what kind of fitness the students bring to a determined Kobs team that dealt MTN Heathens their first league defeat in two years.
The game also comes amid reports that Impis are claiming over ten of the Kobs first team players as being eligible to play for Makerere. Should make for some interesting rugby while the other Super Six teams get a deserved rest.
Uganda Shield champions Buffaloes RFC will be looking to continue their unbeaten run when they take on Mulago Rams at Kyadondo. Boks will also host Entebbe Mongers at Kampala RFC grounds at 5.00 pm.
Elsewhere, after the completion of the School 7s Circuit, the Schools League starts this weekend when Namilyango host Mwiri.
r Ireland head into their Six Nations match against Wales at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday looking for a victory that will put them on the threshold of history.
If they beat Wales in Cardiff, something they have not failed to do since 1983, and England defeat Scotland at Twickenham shortly afterwards, a tantalising grand slam showdown between the English and Irish looms in Dublin on March 30.
Ireland have only won the elusive sweep over the other top European nations once in 1948. Ends
