CAPE TOWN: New South Africa coach Jacques Nienaber has few other plans for his country’s first game since winning the World Cup than to get players reacquainted with international rugby after 20 months without it.

"For us it’s just let’s get used to the pace of the game, the physicality of the game, the small margins in international rugby, because it is going to be a lot different to club rugby." The test against Georgia will be their first match since they won the World Cup, beating England 32-12 in Yokohama on Nov. 2, 2019.South Africa host the first test at Loftus Versfeld and the second at Ellis Park in Johannesburg seven days later. They have three tests against the Lions on successive Saturdays between July 24 and Aug. 7.
