Enterprise Cup: Nondies name squad to battle Black Pirates

Nondescripts drew the battle lines early by naming their game day squad for the Enterprise Cup semifinals against Black Pirates on Friday afternoon, 24 hours before the game.

The Nondies went past KOBs in Nakuru at the quarterfinal stage of the tournament, in a game whose result didn’t tell the full story. The KOBs dominated all their set pieces and enjoyed an 88% retention rate from their lineouts, thanks to Edrine Ssempebwa and Faragi Odugo.

What the Nondies lacked in territory and possession, they made up for by being clinical in the KOBs’ 22. It’s this killer instinct that the Pirates should be wary of this Saturday, as the Nondies scored 2 tries from 5 visits in the red zone.

While the KOBs were let down by their defence, the Pirates, on their hand, thrived and survived without the ball against KCB Rugby in the quarterfinal.

It is going to take the wheels of Tonny Fidens and the wits of scrumhalf Ian Mumbwani to break down that resolute Pirates defence, if the Nondies are to score some fancy tries or points off the boot.

In the forwards, the Nondies have some big units, as evidenced in their captain’s run at Kings Park on Friday.

The battle of the setpiece is going to be key this Saturday, as the Pirates have gotten comfortable at their scrums and lineouts.
