WHAT GOES ON TOUR: Matt talks to Protea ace

The Boks are on tour, and you know what that means...

SuperSport's senior rugby commentator Matt Pearce grabs a sports celeb in the city the Springboks are playing - this time London for the match against Japan at Wembley on Saturday - and talks all things Boks, life and the guest's innermost secrets!

This week Matt catches up with Protea's spin wizard Simon Harmer, fresh off a match-winning 6-50 in the second innings of the second test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi.

The off-spinner is based in England having played for Essex since 2017.

Simon talks about his six-for, his relative who is playing against the Boks this weekend(!), his love for the Boks and captain Kolisi, a beer-backed chat with Temba B after the World Test Championship final, and looking ahead to the test series in India in November.

So hit play and take in the musings of a player who now has over 1 000 first-class wickets, becoming just the fourth South African - after Charlie Llewellyn (1013), Mike Procter (1417) and Allan Donald (1216)  - to achieve the feat.
