World Champions lined up to host Scotland and Georgia for incoming tours next year

The newly crowned World Champion Springboks will have Scotland and Georgia in three home Tests in July 2020, as the incoming series match schedule was confirmed today.

The newly-crowned Rugby World Cup champions, now ranked number 1 in the world, are scheduled to play two Tests against Scotland (ranked 9th), on 4 and 11 July, before hosting Georgia (ranked 14th) in a historical first home Test, on Saturday, 18 July.

It will be the Scots’ first visit to South Africa since June 2014, when the Boks beat them by 55-6 in Port Elizabeth.

The Springboks and Georgia have only met once before, in a pool match at the Rugby World Cup in 2003 in Sydney, when SA won 46-19.

SA Rugby will confirm the venues and kick-off times of the three matches at a later stage.
