Georgia's national rugby team will play its postponed Rugby Europe fixture against Russia in February 2021, in one of three games that will round off the competition the Lelos won after four games this year.
Postponed twice during 2020 due to complications caused by the global pandemic, the Round 5 game between the two rival teams was under a threat of being cancelled along with the two other fixtures of the final matchday.
