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.
Stanbic Black Pirates are now a step away from winning their second Nile Special National Sevens title after finishing second in the Mileke Border 7s held in Tororo over the weekend.
The Sea Robbers were on course to winning the circuit but Walukuba Barbarians shocked them to lose 19-12 ahead of the final leg to be hosted in Bugembe, Jinja.
The Bugembe circuit, dubbed the Kyabazinga Sevens, will be hosted by Walukuba from Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd September.
