With just a few days to go, a couple of the Wazee have been spotted at Kampala Rugby Club running around the pitch in a bid to get their fitness levels up for their clash against Black Panthers. Other Wazee have preferred to conduct their fitness sessions in the privacy of their backyards so as not to give too much away to the opponents. Some have joined the Black Panthers in their touch rugby games during training and after a couple of minutes of exertion resign themselves to holding their waists as they command their youthful teammates on which gaps to take in attack and which gaps to close in defence all the while claiming that they are on a spying mission. Others still have opted not to do anything that will waste their energy ahead of the game and have resorted to using pre-match psychological warfare against the Black Panthers. The Wazee go into the game as strong favourites but the undercats are looking to topple the veterans from their pedestals.
One former Ugandan international has complained that it is unlikely that he will be at his best during this epic encounter as he is used to playing in 40,000 seater stadiums and a crowd of less than 10,000 will not inspire him to show his trademark step and blistering pace. However, he has promised to come out with all guns blazing and hopes to put up a performance that will evoke memories of his heydays.
Both teams are psyched up and raring to go and this promises to be a highly entertaining match.
