It promises to be an epic contest when two of Rwanda’s rugby giants lock horns in a 10 -aside tournament later this month.
Buffaloes and Sharks are two of eight clubs set to grace the one-day event scheduled for September 20 at Red Cross playground.

The other sides include three-time league champions Lion de fer, Gorillas, UNR Grizzlies, Sharks, Puma and Simba.

Gerald Nsenga, the vice president of the local rugby federation (RRF) also revealed that the federation would use the occasion to officially crown Buffaloes 2009 league champions.

The federation will also award prizes to the best player and team of the campaign.

Sharks are certainly one team who will not be an easy ride for Buffaloes.

The Gikondo-based side still holds the record of the highest score in local rugby following last season’s 120-0 mauling over Simba.
