Ireland will travel to Portugal while Georgia will head to South Africa for their matches. The game at Mikheil Meskhi Stadium is vital for both teams. Ireland perceives their upcoming match in Lisbon as less challenging than the one against Georgia in Tbilisi. Conversely, Georgia understands that attempting to defeat the Springboks at home is a formidable challenge. Therefore, the focus on the current game is heightened for both squads due to their respective circumstances.
The Ireland squad will board a flight to Portugal tomorrow while Georgia make the long trip to South Africa. For both teams, this evening's game is the more important of their two summer Tests.
For Ireland, the challenge that awaits in Lisbon next weekend is unlikely to be as difficult as what's in store in Tbilisi tonight, highlighting the significance of this match.
Georgia know that with all the best will in the world, beating the Springboks in their own backyard is an extremely tough task, making the game against Ireland crucial.
