Uganda Rugby Premiership Round 2 – Semi-Final 2, concludes today as Toyota Buffaloes host Makerere Impis in the second leg at Kyadondo Rugby Grounds, kickoff 4:30 PM.

Buffaloes hold a nine-point advantage after winning the first leg 20–11 at Makerere last Saturday. Trailing 8–6 at halftime, they turned the match with a dominant second half. Fly-half Yasin Waswa’s accurate kicking and clinical finishing sealed the victory.

Impis require a substantial performance to overturn the deficit. Their path to the semi-finals has been remarkable: relegated from the Premiership in 2024, they earned promotion through the Championship playoffs and defeated KCB KOBs in the quarterfinals. A fast start will be essential if they aim to repeat that upset.

A decisive boost for today’s match is the return of three Buffaloes national sevens players: Watmon Fat Moses, Aaron Tukei and Daniels Otim have been included in the 23-player matchday squad. The players were released to club duty following Uganda’s withdrawal from the 2026 Rugby Africa Mauritius Sevens.
