@Draftrugby @draftrugby there are reports saying Frank Lomani is out for the season after a dislocated shoulder. Official SRP injury listing still says short-term, but seems confirmed by the coach. :( Thanks for all the hard work!

In this week’s Birding Life Podcast, we tackle play back and birding ethics.

We chatted to three guests about these important topics - Lynette Rudman, Trevor Hardaker & Andrew de Blocq the Avitourism Project Manager at BirdLife South Africa.

@JRSCloete @alexthetarr The only other possible example of this that I can think of would be Tyler Paul and Sintu Manjezi both at lock. Not sure if it actually happened, though.

[Andrew de Blocq @adeblocq]

@alexthetarr @jaredwright17 @oxnche @glove931 Scottish people regularly call foods by things they're not - @oxnche be wary of black "pudding" and oat "cakes". Not a pudding. Not a cake. Dundee cake is an option, though.

[Matt Pearce @MattP555]

Well done Aimee. Keep on making us proud. 👏👏🇿🇦

There's no doubt in my mind that Gough Island's house mice must go. They do not belong there, and they kill c. 2 million seabirds a year. @Natures_Voice @GoughIsland @BirdLife_News @BirdLife_SA @environmentza https://t.co/aHyNO8dQXt
