Kenya is expecting a tough return leg at home against Zambia in the rugby Victoria Cup on Saturday.

"The Zambia's national 15s team has landed in Nairobi this morning. We want to rally our support behind Kenya and hope fans will give the extra voice required," said Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) chairman Oduor Gangla on Tuesday.

Zambian captain Edward Mumba revealed that Zambia will manage to cement its position among the best teams in Africa, saying "we have trained hard and have to stay focused. But it will be hard against Kenya."

Zambia lost two matches, first to Kenya 43-23 in July and to Uganda 38-22 last weekend during the Victoria Cup, which features Uganda, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Zambia in a double round-robin format.

After Saturday's match against Zambia, Kenya will play Zimbabwe on September 21.
