Hore set for hefty ban

Hore set for hefty ban

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.

    @BrumbiesBoy-13096: There’s a theory that dogs helped humans to overcome the Neanderthals because we had dogs to help us hunt and they didn’t have that advantage. Would go some way towards explaining the bond:

    @Te Rangatira-13101: What is a ‘weka’?

  • 13105.playtheball: Reply to this comment

    @Te Rangatira-13101: @charo-13103: Ja Te Rangi, what does weka mean? Because in South Africa it has a completely different meaning. And in the context you’re using it, it would be a bad, bad thing…

    Saw a doco on how breeders have changed the appearance of breeds over he years through inbreeding and as you say trying to get the appearance of a short snout…the pug of today looks alot different than it did 100 years ago

    @Te Rangatira-13107: Here weka is derogatory racist slang for worker.

  • 13109.The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food: Reply to this comment

    @Te Rangatira-13106: Yes, some of the breeds have been tampered with to the extent that it’s almost a guarantee there will be some or other sort of medical issue – even if from a reputable breeder.
    All this started when man decided to try and breed the perfect dog in terms of ‘beauty’…(characteristics desirable to each breed, as determined by humans of course)

    Pugs are so bloody cute though (and damn intelligent…)

    @playtheball-13113: Also brachycephalic. Like pugs, boxers etc. But the Boston Terriers have such character! When my boy did his puppy socialization classes late last year, the class clown AND over achiever, was the Boston Terrier in the bunch.
    He put a 1 Rottie, 1 Ridgeback, 1 Dobe, 1 Newfie, 2 Collies, 1 Labrador, 1 King Charles spaniel and 2 Huskies to shame ***blush blush blush***

    He was also the ‘main oke’ – the rest all bowed and scraped before him.

    I once read about Labradors:

    “If you are interrupted while preparing food etc and have to leave the room only to return and find both food and dog missing, remember…your Labbie never stole the food, he merely retrieved it.”

    True!

Yeah, this time of year it’s hard to focus on work (even though it has to be done…) I’m only going to finish up late next week the way I’m stalling and flapping about. You would swear one would work harder in order to finish ASAP – but yet…..I’m failing…

    neandethals didnt die out.

    they were bred out.

    i see neanderthal offspring all the time. they tend to be assigned lesser, more menial tasks and i think this neanderthalism needs to be adressed.
