Hore injury mars Kiwi win

Hore injury mars Kiwi win

1 Nov 2008

Andrew Hore has been ruled out of New Zealand’s Grand Slam tour after sustaining an ankle injury in the 19-14 victory over the Wallabies.

The All Blacks hooker went down with the injury early in the opening quarter of Saturday’s Test in Hong Kong. The New Zealand management confirmed Hore will not travel to the United Kingdom and Ireland and will be replaced in the starting side by Keven Mealamu.

Hawke’s Bay’s Hikawera Elliot has been called up to join Mealamu and Corey Flynn as New Zealand’s hooking options on tour.

    #2 WP Till I Die: Yeah, I don’t understand the issue, they can pick them up fairly cheaply in pomgolia. How special must this one be…?

    Thats why I say, f*cking goes a long way, but it can potentially get you into lots of shiite.

    Lets not lie, Elliots a pretty decent player to be able to call on. He’s line out throwing is exceptional, something the AB’s haven’t had in a while.

    To be honest i think Hore this year throwing into the lineout has been very good.Our lineout is better this year.
