CAIRO: Rwandan football association president Jean Bosco Kazura is fully confident that Rwanda will be strong opponents to Egypt when both teams meet next month.

The Amavubi Stars face the Pharaohs on July 5 in a crucial 2010 World Cup qualifier in Cairo, and neither side can afford to lose.

Egypt is languishing at the bottom of Group C with a sole point, while the Rwandans lie third on goal difference on a single point as well.

Kazura reckons the African champions won t be able to repeat their heroism in the historic 1-0 win over Italy when they take on his country.

The Egyptians won t play the same game they played against Italy, Kazura said.

Hassan Shehata s men lost 4-3 to Brazil in a pulsating match, and then pulled off a spectacular victory over world champions Italy in the FIFA Confederations Cup.

However, they ended their campaign on a low note when they staggeringly slumped to a 3-0 defeat to the US and waved goodbye to the global competition.
