Coach Willis Magasa says Mufulira Leopards are eager to face National Rugby League leaders Red Arrows and are not scared of facing the champions in tomorrow's match. Arrows, host Leopards in a top-of-the-bill Week Nine encounter at Yotam Muleya Ground in Lusaka on 3rd June, this Saturday. The Zambia Air Force-sponsored side is leading the standings with 32 points, four clear of second-placed Leopards. Leopards will assume the leadership if they hand 'Air Wolves their second loss of the season. In an interview, Magasa said that Leopards will travel to Lusaka with the aim of completing a double over Arrows who are currently leading the log. He said facing Arrows is like facing any other team and Leopards are treating the match like any other fixture. This is just any other game. In our eyes, no team is superior. We treat all teams the same. This game is just as important as the last game of the season. We are taking each game as it comes," Magasa said. Leopards, who started the season on a shaky note have improved of late. Leopards last won the National Rugby League title in 1995 and since then have struggled to rise to the occasion.
