Georgia national rugby team in search of new challenges: possible test match with South Africa in July 2024

The current winner of the Rugby World Cup, the South African national team, is considering holding a test match with the Georgian team in the summer of 2024, according to the portal TheSouthAfrican.com .

The Georgian national team has so far met the South African team twice and lost both times: 19: 46 at the 2003 World Cup and 9: 40 in the 2021 test match.

The South Africans will not take part in the November tests, and their first match as four-time world champions is scheduled for July 2024. Boke's main rival will be the Irish national team, the domestic team that defeated the South Africans at the 2023 World Cup in France. It is planned to hold two matches against the Irish.

In addition to the match against Ireland, the South African Rugby Union is also considering a meeting with the second-tier pair in July 2024. The website notes that "the South African Rugby Union may also hold a match against a second-tier team, for example, Georgia, as part of the July tests."

Recall that the South African rugby team won the title of champion by defeating New Zealand in the World Cup final on October 28 with a score of 12: 11. It was the fourth winning of the world champion title.
