If you were worried about missing out on the action at the Nile Special Rugby Premiership finale due to an early kickoff, worry no more.

Pulse Sports can confirm that the kickoff time for the Kobs and Black Pirates fixture, scheduled to kick off at 2:30 pm, has now been moved to 4 pm, with the date and venue remaining unchanged.

Ramsey Olinga, the head of technical at Uganda Rugby Union, revealed the reason behind the change in the kickoff time for the game.

"Yes, I can confirm that the kickoff time for the Kobs vs Pirates game has been changed from 2:30 pm to 4 pm," Ramsey told Pulse Sports.

"Because of the permutations involved, we have three teams vying for the title, and anything is possible."

"The day (13th May) and venue (Legends rugby grounds) remain the same," Oringa added.

The Nile Special Rugby Premiership will wrap up on Saturday, the 13th of May, with Kobs and Pirates battling for the title.

With the slimmest of chances, Heathens remain in the picture, too, but after they win with a bonus point and hope that Kobs and Pirates draw for them to retain the title.
