The only prior meeting between the nations was at the 2003 Rugby World Cup in Australia. The Springboks will make their long-awaited return to international rugby when they host Georgia in two Tests later this year. "We have only played the Springboks once before, in our first Rugby World Cup appearance in 2003, when we scored the first try. According to Khurtsidze, SA Rugby has over a number of years made an active contribution to the development of Georgian rugby. As a leading tier one rugby nation, this makes South Africa an important contributor to the development of Georgian rugby."
