Springboks set to have first game since 2019

From Morning Report, 6:19 am on 2 July 2021

Nearly two years on from their Rugby World Cup triumph, the Springboks are set to play again.

South Africa will play Georgia in Pretoria on Saturday morning New Zealand time and they'll have a great excuse if players are a little rusty - with the coronavirus pandemic having kept them off the field since lifting the Webb Ellis Cup in Japan, back in November 2019.

It's only a couple of weeks until they square off with the British and Irish Lions in a three-Test series.

South African rugby correspondent Ken Borland spoke to Corin Dann.
