By 1000 Hills Rugby Media | Saturday 24 October 2026 | National League, Round 3 1000 Hills Rugby 89 - 00 Burera Tigers RFC
Seven try-scorers, 89 points and not a single point conceded. That was the afternoon at Camp Kigali, where 1000 Hills Rugby beat Burera Tigers RFC 89-0 with a side that had more young faces in it than the champions usually field.
Head coach Nsengimana Jean D’Amour left his first-choice team out and gave the club’s rookies their senior chance. The reward was a clean sheet and a performance that spread the scoring around: Munyaneza Steven, known as TiTi, scored two tries on his senior debut, and he was joined on the scoresheet by Iradukunda Chance, Mucungura Diego, Singizwa Jean Sauveur, Kayihura Johnson, Mbarushimana Enock and Prince Shema.
TiTi’s brace made the headlines, but he was one of five players making a first 1000 Hills senior appearance. Nshuti Bertrand, Irasubiza Emile, Zitunga Donald and Kwizera Eric joined him in that group. Around them stood Kazungu Patrick, Mbarushimana Enock, Rukundo Roger and Singizwa Jean Sauveur, the experienced heads who gave the young side a base to play from. Enock and Sauveur did their share of the scoring too.
Burera Tigers and 1000 Hills had never met in the 15s National League before, and the Tigers found the champions’ defence closed to them all afternoon. After three rounds, the Hills remain unbeaten, with a squad that looks deeper than it did a fortnight ago.
