Ivan Magomu is back at fly-half and will continue to captain the side as they look to claim the top post after Week 8.

Nathan Bwambale and Ivan kabagambe start in the front-row this week, apace with Alema ‘Didi’ Ruhweza at tighthead prop. Ronald Tusiime comes in for Sydney Gongodyo who will provide cover on the bench. Peter Tinashe, Humphrey Tashobya continue as the back-row combo for the second week running with Desire Ayera – fresh from his player of the match performance in the win against Rhinos as the eighth man.

In-form Moses Olupot will start at scrum-half. Moses Olweny (left) and Arnold Atukunda (right) will be marshaling the wings. Isaac Massa and James Mugisha continue their solid partnership in the midfield, with Mohammed Haruna pulling the strings at full-back.
