The Hippos vs Warriors game that was postponed in the first game week was rescheduled to 2nd April on a weekend where there will be no action from the Uganda Rugby League because of the Easter holiday.
One could argue that the circumstances would have been different had the match been played in the first game week.
Hippos come into this game on the back of a loss in their last game against the Buffaloes in their first game away from Jinja.
Prior to this game they were the most rejuvenated team in the league after the restart and one would hope this was a one time loss as they look to bounce back against the Warriors.
Warriors are at the bottom of the league with no win and no point and their league form shows no signs of improvement.
This seems like a straightforward win for the Hippos given their league form and position (4th) on the table. However they should be wary of a Warriors side that is in search of their first win of the season that could put up a compact performance and surprise the visitors like the Buffaloes did.
