Howard Watt


Howard Hugh Watt was the last surviving pre-war Springbok and part of the
South African rugby team nicknamed "The Invincibles".
Nicknamed Sparkle, he was both a cricketer and rugby player. He toured New Zealand with the Springboks in 1937 and although he participated in some tour games he did not play a Test.
He bowled Sir Donald Bradman twice in one match in Chicago in 1932 as a fast bowler. When Howard Watt met him again in 1937, Bradman remembered him as one of the few people to dismiss him so cheaply.
