Even without Jim Middleton, the Wazee look formidable as Brain Makalama and Mark Kyagaba look to retain their positions as props. Brian Makalama is still pained by the memory of the last game where he was denied about 3 tries as every time he got into the 5, six Black Panthers jumped on him and so thwarted every attempt he made to touch down. Makalama, Tolbert Onyango (Toly) and David Mutaka (Mutaks) will be teammates for the 3 o'clock but at 5 o'clock Tolbert and Mutaks will face off against Makalama in the Toyota Buffaloes - G4S Super 8 clash. A fitness test for the 3? We shall see.
Sam Ahamya has threatened to sack his employee, Charlotte Mudoola, if she tackles him or embarrasses him in any way during the game. Charlotte is sure that she will do both of those and has already sued Ahamya in advance for wrongful dismissal. The battle on the pitch looks set to roll into the law courts.
Samuel Guma, William Blick, Paul Nyangabyaki, Martin Kasasasira, Andrew Okullo, Denis Odongkara, Arthur Mugweri and Andrew Owiny are set to make their debuts and most are not quite sure what to expect from the ladies as they did not watch the last game. Dr Guma ensured that he took time last week to train with us and after carrying out his spying mission, he threatened to bar some players from playing on medical grounds - apparently they were running to fast or were hitting too hard so must be undergoing some unusual hormonal changes making them more like boys and continuing to play rugby would be detrimental to their health. Coincidentally, the players he wanted to stop from playing were the ones giving him the hardest time during the session ...
Meanwhile Issa Issa will be disappointed this weekend as he will be unable to play after weeks of training for this game. He popped his shoulder while practicing diving over the try line during a training session. He had anticipated scoring a brace of tries on his debut. He will, however, be relegated to watching the action from the sidelines tomorrow.
Foxy Ojambo and Ramsey Olinga will also miss the game as they will be on refereeing duty. David Kirabira is fortunate that he will be free so he will share the scrumhalf duties with Bobby Musinguzi. It is a complete coincidence that Kirabira is in charge of allocating the match officials ...
Dennis Anguyo returns as the match referee.
