Canes lose star centre – Conrad Smith won’t tour South Africa with the Hurricanes after injuring his nose in Saturday’s loss to the Brumbies.

Picking one’s nose during a game can be hazardous sometimes.

@TheTackler(TheTackler)-1: Maybe he just nose the Canes will lose in South Africa and so wants to stay at home, hey Tickles.

You guys are on fire!
Did you see the incident? Very nasty but no sympathy here it seems.

Conrad nose where it goes, I suppose? From his head right to his toes?

Andre Pretorius was seated in a huge business class seat and, having chosen the chicken for dinner, casually lifted a taut buttock just to let a little quiet one sneak out the back door and …..WHAM! Totally did in his hammeus maximus glutimus something or otherimus (sounded like Roman Emperor’s warhorse) and poor wee little Petoors could barely walk straight for six months, let alone play rugger!

typical.
it takes the lowest form of human to delight in another’s suffering.
much like the Saffa on here who found the Japanese Tsunami “more exciting” than a particular game of rugby.
it’s no wonder your country is in such a shambles with specimens of this quality.

@poppa69(poppa69)-9:

Charo
to delight or make fun of someone who may need surgery is pathetic.
shall we delight in the suffering of the axe murder victims? is that ok too?
as for your 4 million remark, typical from a dutchie meathead like yourself.

@poppa69(poppa69)-11: hahaha you are so childish poops, you hatred for saffas blinds you. Your security job giving you the ***** again?
I wish we had a Conrad Smith in South Africa.

The sad truth is that this kid is very childish.

Good luck to Conrad. It was a sickening sight. Luckily we have humour to deal with life’s curve balls!

Interisting to note that the Force and Hurricanes are in fact the bottom two teams in the comp at the moment. They both got the mahala 4 log points for the bye. The Hurricanes received 2 points for the canceled Crusaders game.
Must say the Hurricanes look bad bad bad this year!

I think our good friend poppa69 is right on the nose here. G*o*d nose we shouldn’t make light of dear Conrad’s plight. After all, he’s probably going to have to pay through the nose to get his schnozz sewn back on right. Just because the Canes as a team are playing like s*h*i*t*e is no reason for us to rub poppa’s nose in it – though I still might. So I apologise if I led some of you by the nose with my protuberance puns. It’s not hard to see how it could put someone’s nose out of joint.

kaksieok
being SA , do you rape babies to cure them of aids? I bet you nose how.
and I bet you nose that in SA you rape lesbians to convert them.
I’m sure you also nose how to wield an axe?
or you nose that killer bees is good to kill cops
do you also still nose how to oppress people with a different hue of skin.
I’m sure you nose it all..

Hue…..trying to use big words. ‘Colour’ sounds a lot better in the context of that angry sentence.

@poppa69(poppa69)-21: Cry me a river, poop smear.

@poppa69(poppa69)-11:
listen mate, you came out fists swinging @9 without justification.
a few blokes made chirpy remarks but you take as a personal attack.
you really need to calm down and stop these attacks.
or get off this blog and go someplace where your sensibilities won’t be offended.

Looked very nasty head clash. Just like vd Merwe got in Timaru. Hopefully both will recover soon.
Have your say
