The Six Nations opponents face off at Boland Landbou in Paarl on Matchday 2 of the Series, kicking-off at 14:30 BST. All International Series fixtures will be streamed live on SuperSport Schools.

England U18 Men’s head coach Jonathan Pendlebury and assistant coach Will Parkin have named their squad to face Georgia in the 2025 International Series. 

The Pathway side kick off the 2025/26 season this Friday (12:30 BST kick-off) at Durbanville High School and the game will be streamed live on SuperSport Schools.

Bath Rugby’s Declan Treacey captains the side one year after his brother and U20 international Connor skippered the U18 Men in South Africa.  

Treacey is one of 12 capped players at Pendlebury’s disposal this week, with Ollie Batson, Kwame Bekoe, Sonny Goode, Jordan Ikeh, Lawrence Ogbonnaya and Casper Wheeler will earn their first U18 caps.  

Eight further players could earn their first England pathway caps if they come off the bench. Two of these players are Kent boys Freddie Jones ex Tunbridge Wells RFC and AJ Henry from Dartford Valley RFC, we wish them all the best.
