Stanbic Black Pirates go into the Nile Special Kyabazinga 7s leading the pack with 112 points ahead of Heathens and Kobs
Stanbic Black Pirates are just a step away from clinching their second Nile Special National Sevens title.
The side from Bweyogerere goes into the final circuit this season in fine fettle, leading the pack with 112 points.
Their closest challengers, Heathens and Kobs, follow from a distance with 101 and 99 points and will take a great collapse for them to steal it away from Pirates.

RUGBY 7s What Pirates need to be declared Nile Special National 7s champions
Stanbic Black Pirates will need at least a semifinal appearance at the Kyabazinga 7s to emerge champions of the 2023 Nile Special National Rugby Sevens.
“Of course, we got this,” Timothy Kisiga, who was named the most valuable player in the first circuit in Jinja, told NBS Sports.
Kisiga is confident his team will carry the same form that won them the opening Stone City circuits held at Dams Water and Kitgum to the Kyabazinga Sevens over the weekend.

RUGBY 7s Heathens, Kobs, Pirates & Hippos: the previous Nile Special 7s winners of all-time
Heathens has scooped eleven titles since then and remains the team to beat as they seek their 12th this year.
“We’ve trained a lot this week, and I believe we don’t crack under pressure. If we really lose, then we shall do it the Pirates way, playing our game and that’s a big plus for us,” Kisiga said.
Pirates will only need to navigate through what looks like an easy Pool B that has Buffaloes and two invited sides in Elgon Wolves and Kyambogo, and then the quarterfinal to seal their win.
