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.

Hi Skoppy,… If you lose a few pounds you sort of look like a slightly younger version of Bob Dylan.

13 Dec 2012, 22:31 pm
The last time I have been to JHB (about2 years ago) i did no go further than Sandton… it’s not too bad there, i even enjoyed it.
Been in Hillbrow in mid eighties for the last time- Hillbrow records and that moerse nice bookshop whose name i cannot remember still used to be there. Probably all gone by now?
13 Dec 2012, 22:31 pm
funny, no threats for thousands of posts.
then the bakkie bouer arrives and it gets basement jaxx.
13 Dec 2012, 22:34 pm
Estoril Books. that’s all gone to pot now.
Old Jinx made a vid of Hilbrow, Berea and Yeoville a few years back – basically documenting the slide from how he remembered it. Sad, but that’s real life for a lot of new Joburgers now.
13 Dec 2012, 22:35 pm
@Robzim-13387:
The last time I was in the ‘Brow we were going like the clappers in a taxi taking shortcuts to Ellis.
These days, the best view of Hillbrow is in your rearview mirror. Best avoided.
13 Dec 2012, 22:35 pm
@katman-13389: saw a mail entitled “death of JHB”.
probably quite skewed but then again i know absolutely nothing about JHB.
and i mean nothing.
13 Dec 2012, 22:36 pm
@The Rangerman-13388: Ja, by now I’m so threatened I must be on the endangered list.
13 Dec 2012, 22:38 pm
@katman-13392:
13 Dec 2012, 22:38 pm
@skopdiekan-13362: he went to Linden skop…
13 Dec 2012, 22:39 pm
@katman-13389:
Ja, thats the name of the bookshop… there used to be a hellova vibe in that place in mid eighties..live music and stuff.. but the cracks were beginnng to show then already I guess…. one could feel it, there was something in the air… it was just more “threatening” than CT at the time…but it kept one sort of “honest” if you know what I mean.
13 Dec 2012, 22:40 pm
@The Rangerman-13391: People remember Hillbrow and Berea as a trendy urban space filled with hi-rises where young people bought their first apartments. The main drags were alive with eateries, shops, music. There were good hotels, many bars. But it’s been sliding for a long time. Joburg has seen such an influx of people, and they all have to go somewhere. Sadly for Hilbrow, this is where they went. And no one has spent any money there for ages. It’s got a different kind of energy now.
13 Dec 2012, 22:40 pm
@katman-13389:
That and old Rocky Street have all changed. In the ’80s that was all different. That was where all the late night coffee bars were – where you walked out long after sun rise. Sadly no more.
13 Dec 2012, 22:42 pm
@Robzim-13387: jozi is fun trust me…i had a lekker jol @Katzy’s in Rosebank on New Year’s eve last year…
13 Dec 2012, 22:42 pm
@katman-13396: i have heard the stories ja.
i suppose it is generational.
13 Dec 2012, 22:42 pm
@Robzim-13395: I ventured into Hilbrow on New Years eve when I was in matric, with a crazy mate of mine. We got caught up in a mini riot and had to duck cops with a water cannon. I was 17 and pretty much pooped myself.
