To highlight how seriously the Wazee are taking this game, they start training today at Kampala Rugby Club at 6pm. The vets will hope to use their superior experience, skills and weight to subdue the cheeky Black Panthers. However, Black Panthers are counting on their fitness and agility to outlast the aging (aged) stars.
Wazee team manager, George Mbalu, is not taking any chances and has appealed to School of Nursing to provide 20 nursing students to back up the Uganda Rugby Medical Society medics whom he feels will be overwhelmed by the muscle pulls, severe fatigue and dehydration that he anticipates will plague his players.
The game will be played in accordance with the IRB laws of 15 aside rugby with a few amendments:
1) The game will be played in quarters i.e. there will be a beer break in each half (vets to determine the length of the break but not more than 5 minutes) as well as the usual 10 minute half time break.
2) Rolling substitutions will be allowed.
4) The vets may not push the scrum more than 1 metre (if that happens then a full penalty).
5) The vets may not drive the same maul continuously for more than 10 metres (if that happens then a full penalty).
At present there is no amendment 3 - it will be revealed in due course.
Next week I'll reveal the Wazee team ...
