Muzonda’s first was to award a walkover to Rhinos after Impis arrived late for their Pool C tie.

This is the second exchange of match officials between Uganda Rugby Union (URU) and Zimbabwe Rugby Union (ZRU).

Man of the week. Grateful for the September month. @bali_umars officiating at this year’s league final in Harare. If my memory does not fail me; he is the first Ug Ref to officiate a cup final in Zim. Grateful to KARR members and those that made this happen. pic.twitter.com/Sg1n2Ut8zc
