‘MEN AT WORK’ Diggers’ should put behind their disappointing performance in last Saturday’s Mufulira Sevens Rugby Championship when they host Mufulira in the Buildcon National Rugby League (NRL) Week Nine match at Nkana West Rugby Field in Kitwe.
Diggers, who crashed out of the tournament at the semi-final stage, surrendered the Mufulira Sevens title to resurgent Red Arrows.

Diggers have 34 points while Eagles have 22 points.
EAGLES vs  LUSAKA
Green Eagles will seek to complete a double over ‘Powerhouse’ Lusaka when the teams clash in Kabwe.
This will be an explosive match as Lusaka will be out to avenge the 41-6 home defeat they suffered to Eagles in the reverse fixture in Lusaka.

ROAN vs ARROWS  
Rejuvenated Red Arrows have chance to close in on Diggers when they take on Roan in Luanshya.
If Arrows display the same form they showed when they won the Mufulira Sevens, then Roan will be given a good hiding.
But Roan could use homeground advantage to halt Arrows’ cruise.
