2025 UGANDA CUP FINAL HEAD TO HEAD - BATTLE OF THE SCRUMHALVES 🏉
Conrad Wanyama (@piratesrugbyUG)
Nicholas Kato (@HeathensRFC)
The 2025 Uganda Cup final presents a fascinating contest at scrumhalf, pitting the vastly experienced Conrad Wanyama against the energetic and increasingly influential Nicholas Kato.
🏉 Experience & Test Pedigree
Wanyama enters the final with a commanding international résumé. He has started 13 of Uganda’s last 16 test matches, reinforcing his status as the country’s first-choice No. 9. Kato, meanwhile, has featured in 4 tests, all as an impact substitute.
🏉 Passing & Distribution
Kato has produced the sharper passing numbers in the knockout phase, completing 95.7% of his passes. Wanyama sits at 93.9%, though he remains the only scrumhalf between the two to register a try assist in the knockouts, supplying Nathan Bwambale’s finish against Impis.
🏉 Handling & Aerial Work
Wanyama has been flawless under pressure, maintaining a 100% handling rate on aerial balls and received passes in the knockouts. Kato’s only blemish is the two knock-ons he suffered against Rams.
🏉 Running Threat
Kato brings a superior carrying instinct. He has executed four pick-and-carry runs, scoring two tries from them. Wanyama has used this option only once across two matches, emphasizing a more structured, distributor-first role.
🏉 Kicking Game
Wanyama remains the more prolific and versatile kicker. His 14 kicks in play, including 12 box kicks, highlighting his tactical range and ability to kick off both feet, an uncommon skill for scrumhalves in Uganda. Kato has contributed 9 kicks, with 5 box kicks against Buffaloes, including 2 crucial exit kicks from his own 22.
🏉 The Final Picture
The matchup is a clash of profiles: Wanyama’s composure, kicking control, and test maturity versus Kato’s accuracy, speed, and attacking decisiveness. Whichever halfback wins this duel may well tilt the final.
