A week later, the Boks will take on Georgia on home soil for the second time, in line with World Rugby’s plans to expose emerging nations to top-tier opposition. The Lelos played one Test against South Africa in Pretoria in 2021 as a prelude to the COVID-impacted tour of the British & Irish Lions.
The Boks will start defending their Castle Lager Rugby Championship crown against the Wallabies, who host the British & Irish Lions in July, on consecutive weekends in August, on the 16th and 23rd.
