SA Rugby has confirmed that the Springboks will host Scotland and Georgia in three Tests in the new international window in July 2020.

Rumours have been circulating about who the newly crowned Rugby World Cup champions will play and on Wednesday it was revealed that the Scots and Georgians will travel to South Africa for the incoming series next year.

The Springboks are scheduled to play two Tests against Scotland on 4 and 11 July, before taking Georgia on in a historical first home Test on Saturday, 18 July.

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

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

The venues and kick-off times of the three matches will be announced at a later stage.
