The Stanbic Black Pirates Director of Rugby/coach Robert ‘Bobby’ Musinguzi got a befitting send-off as his side earned 45-0 bonus point win over Rhinos in the Nile Special Rugby Premiership on Saturday at the Kings Park Arena in Bweyogerere.
Ochocinco's two second-half tries, along with Ivan Magomu, Arnold Atukunda, Sydney Gongodyo and Conrad Wanyama's, sealed the deal for the home side.
Rhinos started well, but Ivan Kirabo's boot was off, failing to make it count with two penalties which allowed Pirates to get back the groove first with Magomu, who muscled his way to the try line and converted to give Pirates a 7-0 lead.
Sydney Gongodyo then powered through to increase the lead before Magomu converted.
Ivan Kirabo could have made amends for his earlier misses before the break, but he again missed a penalty allowing Pirates to end the first half with a 14-0 lead.
The second half saw the Pirates continue their show with Atukunda touching down from the left wing to make it 19-0, but Magomu missed the conversion.

RUGBY Pirates raring to go again against Rhinos after the midseason break
The Nile Special Rugby Premiership will get going again this weekend after a midseason break which was engulfed with drama.
Moses Zziwa and Conrad Wanyama also added a try each, along with Ochocinco's two tries, with Magomu converting all but one. Daniel Nshimiyimana's conversion wrapped up the win for the Pirates.
Head coach Marvin Odongo believes it was a good send-off for Bobby, who is leaving his director of Rugby role at the club.
"I am glad we won, it was a good game, and we did it for Coach Bobby. The boys executed the game plan well because we had good cohesion," Odongo told Pulse Sports after the game.
"The mid-season break allowed the boys to rest well hence the win today,” he added.
The win was the Pirates' 13th this season after 14 rounds of games played.
