After beating Italy in two straight matches, the Springboks welcome Georgia to Nelspruit for SA’s final summer test.
The biggest news out of the Boks camp is that Siya Kolisi will return for this test, a good sign ahead of a packed Rugby Championship in August.
After winning the Rugby Europe Championship in March, Georgia has only played one summer test, a losing effort to Ireland last week. The Lelos only scored five points in that match.

South Africa Springboks Vs. Georgia: Head To Head
Spingboks and Georgia have had only one meeting prior to today, which came on July 2, 2021.
At the time, it was the Springboks first match after winning the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Nearly 20 months went by between the World Cup final and their test against the Lelos.
Georgia and the Boks were supposed to play a second test in 2021, but it was canceled before SA’s tests against the British & Irish Lions.
