I cannot see the Bulls beating Glasgow with that team - especilly since the match is played in Glasgow.
If the Shark cannot beat Scarlets - who were even worse in their first four matches than the Sharks were - then the Sharks would be in real trouble. . .
This photograph was taken during a trip to Rwanda earlier this year, where we spent four unforgettable days trekking through the misty Virunga mountains in search of the gorilla families that call them home. On this particular day, we came across a large family group gathered in a forest clearing. The adults were calmly foraging while the youngsters were enthusiastically playing. One young male was especially keen to show off his acrobatic flair, pirouetting, tumbling and high kicking. Watching his performance was pure joyPhotograph: Mark Meth-Cohn
WRONG BOX .....
Nice though. Nature remains wonderful and that was refleced in parts of the 4 days visit to Rwanda by Sky News and now used in advertising of Sky News .
The gorilla's bowling action reminds me of Warne ... RIP.
