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.

@The Rangerman-12611:
hi Ranger,
just out of curiosity – you never did answer Rye’s question about groupers so big they can swallow divers whole and his friends theory that this is what happened to a dive buddy of theirs. i too have heard the fishermans tale before that people have been taken by groupers, is there any truth to this myth you think?

@playtheball-12616:
if there is any justice in this world then the boks will rightly get to the top, which is where they deserve to be.
the new zealanders have stolen far to many games and titles from us which by rights they should not have been given. everybody loved armstrong while he was winning.
12 Dec 2012, 15:20 pm
@Heavens Game-12612: That’s your ‘meal of the day’ buddy, not mine. Haven’t seen Hangover 1 or 2….truth. I deal with immature men in the real world (see case in point), which leaves me with zero desire to watch films about them……

I know that.
Does this mean that they should be No 1?
You have to agree that if the ABs play to their full potential and they do, the ABs will beat them with between 5 and 10 points, every time

Bud, I refuse to post under any other thread until Hore starts playing again.
The world should know what a disgusting act of human behaviour that was, and what better way to inform the world than to post a million bezillion comments, right here on our favourite rugby blog?

this is the best response i can give.
keep watching for the potato bass.
now a potato bass is huge but a relative midget when compared with a brindle bass and both can be VERY agressive so it isnt impossible.
saw a brindle bass off ballito about 5 months ago that looked like a small car it was so big and it was attracted by my mate shooting a fish. it was about 8 to 10 times the size of the potato that did the damage in this vid.

@gonzo-615:
they won’t do that then they’d have to talk about rugby and why would they want to do that? did you watch that big pile of poo between the Bokke and Poms, incredibly boring played by 30 guys who just don’t have the required skills to play a ball in hand attacking game of rugby but they know this hence 600 odd posts about Horegate and a handful about how Meyer is optimistic about the future that speaks volumes
12 Dec 2012, 15:40 pm
and by the way, the diver in this vid needed stitches, his hand was finished.
12 Dec 2012, 15:42 pm
@gunther-12530: LOL Hi Gunther
12 Dec 2012, 15:44 pm
a potato bass can weigh up to 100 kgs and a brindle bass can weigh 400kgs.
a 400kg fish could feasibly kill a human quite easily if it chose to but brindles are very very rare fish.
