Don’t miss out on tickets for the Springboks vs Georgia match

Tickets sales have passed the 60% mark – grab yours now.

Ticket sales for the upcoming test match between the Springboks and Georgia at Mbombela Stadium have already passed the 60% mark – so make sure you don’t miss out on securing yours.

This will be just the third test played between the two sides. The first took place in Sydney during the 2003 Rugby World Cup, where South Africa won 40-16. The second was in Pretoria in 2021, a 40-9 win for the Boks, played behind closed doors due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Georgia are currently ranked 11th in the world, above both Wales and Japan. They are renowned for their powerful, aggressive scrumming, and are undefeated in 35 consecutive matches over eight seasons in the Rugby Europe Men’s Championship.

The Springboks have won all five matches they’ve played at Mbombela Stadium. In 2013, they beat Scotland 30-17, followed by a 31-30 win over Wales in 2014. In 2016, they defeated Argentina 30-23, then returned in 2022 to beat the All Blacks 26-10. Most recently, they secured a 48-7 victory over Argentina in 2024.

This unbeaten streak in Mpumalanga’s capital, combined with the exciting, high-quality rugby the Springboks are currently producing, gives fans every reason to be at Mbombela Stadium on July 19.

The Springboks’ 2025 season got off to a thrilling start last weekend with a 54-7 triumph over the Barbarians in Cape Town. The Lowveld’s own Marnus van der Merwe made his debut in that match, while fellow Lowvelder Kwagga Smith also featured off the bench.

This weekend, the Boks take on Italy at Loftus Versfeld. Smith will again be on the bench, alongside former Laerskool Bergland pupil Faf de Klerk and former Pumas prop Vincent Koch.
