Hore set for hefty ban

Hore set for hefty ban

26 Nov 2012

New Zealand hooker Andrew Hore has been cited for an off-the-ball incident which subsequently hospitalised Wales lock Bradley Davies.

Hore hit Davies off the ball during the initial stages of last Saturday’s Test in Cardiff. The incident was missed by matchday officials, but Hore has now been cited and looks likely to receive a lengthy suspension.

The time and date of the hearing, before the IRB’s appointed independent judicial officer, have yet to be fixed.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen expects the hooker to be sidelined for some time. Hansen did not say as much, but has already called for a replacement ahead of the coming Test against England.

Dane Coles is expected to start at Twickenham.

    yip
    i would certainly put Ali in that category, and a few others too.
    no matter how much he may have trained and repetitively practised, his style of fighting always seemed to come from some place deeper than just rote ability.

    @ufo-7646:
    Gavin Cowley and Peter Kirsten were both in the running for the Bok 10 position, if the selectors had ever dropped their love affair with Gerald Bosch. I reckon that Cowley was one of the best young SA 10s I’d seen for a while.

    i’m a massive ali fan…

    simply the greatest in my opinion… and a very clever man too…

    yeah… cowley was a good player for sure… but gerald bosch was the frans steyn of his day with his monster boot… so can understand (if not agree with) them loving him…

    Speaking of boxing, check this interesting photography project. This guy did portrait shots of boxers before and after their bouts.

    @ufo-7655:
    I still remember Bosch in the 4th Test against the Lions. By this time the Lions backrow had ignored him as a threat and he suddenly found himself through an enormous gap with only JPR between him and the tryline. When he looked up he seemed so confused he put boot to ball!

    :lol:

    don’t remember that specifically… but yeah… he liked to use his boot… and he carried more weight than he should have… especially later in his career…

    so maybe he just wasn’t fit enough to take on jpr… :lol:

    pales in comparison to the deeds of George Best.

    That man could take punishment.

    But I am impressed:

    “Fordham’s health has long been a concern. At one point he weighed 31 stone (197 kilograms, 434 lbs) and was in the habit of consuming 25 bottles of lager before going on stage to play………..”

    Fordham won the world title while completely sozzled.

    When he went up against Mervyn King in the final in 2004, he had already drunk most of a bottle of brandy and a case of lager.
