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.

@Angostura-13550: Yep, I was looking for Hersch’s name there. And maybe even the Captain Who’s Name Cannot Be Said.

@Angostura-13550:
Agree wrt Jonty.

With Hansie in the team you are at least ensured that the team jacket will be of the finest leather

@CharlesM-13546:
yeah.. and by all accounts daryl not the most liked guy in the team… quite divisive in fact… and him reporting hersch and the boys after the windies win whiff…
so i definitely would not have daryl in the team… i’d lean towards kepler but would be happy with peter too…
as you say brian competing with the allrounders… but i’d have him in my squad at least… he brought ‘yster’ to the side like few others in sa cricket… he’s huge and his presence intimidated the opposition… and he very seldom lost it…
14 Dec 2012, 11:48 am
@katman-13551: nope
Hansie was not good enough for this team of 2-decade-span-greats, I’m sorry to say.

this is so insulting and off putting:
All Blacks: Another vintage McCaw year
This year will go down as another outstanding season for All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw, despite suffering defeat in the final test of 2012.
McCaw is looking to cap off the year by becoming the first person to be named the Kelvin R Tremain Memorial player of the year for a fourth time after leading the side to 12 victories from 14 tests. They suffered one defeat to England and also drew 18-18 with Australia.
McCaw is nominated for the top gong at tonight’s awards in Auckland along with 2010 winner Kieran Read and centre Conrad Smith.
After finishing his 12th season in the All Blacks, this year has added to McCaw’s growing legacy which seemingly reached a new height in October last year when he lifted the Rugby World Cup.
But the 31-year-old didn’t stop there, leading the All Blacks through a 20-match unbeaten run which finally came to an end at Twickenham.
The 116-test flanker said it’s been a satisfying year for the side.
for the rest:

@ufo-13555: Apparently Darryl was taken off air on Supersport because he stepped on some toes and wasn’t always too complimentary.
I can’t recall all the details but Mac “warned” Shane Warne that whenever they would tour SA, they should be careful because a life wasn’t worth much in SA. He said something to the effect that when another one of you (Aussies) die, not much will be said about it. Then one day after a match Brian pranked them and burst into the Aussie’s dressingroom with an AK47; he was “taking aim and threating them”. Apparently some of the guys nearly sh*t themselves. Brian then burst into laughter.
Brian was a real “yster” and could stare (and scare) the hell out of anybody

In other news: Charl Schwartzel has played his previous 10 rounds of golf in a total of 40 under par (according to this morning newspaper). A while ago he was 8 under par after 17 holes at Leopard Creek for the 2nd round. He is on fire!!

i am almost absolutely convinced there is a similar kiwi black op running to target rugby forums around the world. their MO is easy to spot on after a while on numerous international forums where people gather to discuss rugby.
14 Dec 2012, 12:14 pm
@CharlesM-13562: That’s amazing. I see he finished today on 13 under, tied for the lead with the Frenchman.
Poor Louis is way back on 1 over.

@CharlesM-13560:
hahaha…
brilliant story about brian, charles…
yeah, he had a stare to scare freddy kroeger into his own nightmares… and always looked like he really meant it when most of the time it was put on for effect…
ja… sadly daryl has all the social skills of dog poop on the beach…

We used to steal Jonty Rhodes’ shirts and swap them for beer: 20 cases of beer or a case of brandy, a case of whiskey and six cases of beer. Every Friday he would go, “Chaps, I have lost another shirt, man. Please help me.”

Mangaung ‘not just about elections’
Johannesburg – The Constitutional Court declared the ANC’s Free State provincial elective conference invalid, in a judgment handed down in Johannesburg on Friday.
“The provincial elective conference of Free State province of the African National Congress held at Parys on 21-23 June 2012 and its decisions and resolutions are declared unlawful and invalid,” the judgment said.
An appeal was brought by six Free State ANC members who challenged the validity of the PEC in court last month, claiming elections at branch level were irregular.
The party begins its conference on Sunday.

@Transformation-13570: I guess it was a “good fake” – I suppose nobody would have known what it looked like in any case.

@Transformation-13570:
Yes I have to agree.
Imagine if Makhaya Ntini did that. The world would have concluded that maybe that allegation against him was not that far-fetched.
I think a docket needs to be opened for this incident. Where did he get it? Why was he allowed to take it to the stadium?

on another note, who do you okes reckon would have won if hansie and smithy squared off? my money would be on smithy smashing hansie back into the stone age (sorry Hansie, RIP)

US R&B star Anthony Hamilton to perform at Mangaung on Sunday at the Reconciliation Concert.
The 41-year-old star has earned himself two
Grammy Award nominations for next year’s
55th Annual Grammy Awards; one for Best
R&B Album for his latest album Back To
Love and another for Best R&B Song for his
hit single off the album, Pray For Me.
This is Hamilton’s second time in the
country this year, following the success of
his Back to Love tour in August.
“The reception in South Africa has been
really great. I felt like the black Justin
Bieber!” he said, laughing.
“It means the music has touched somebody
other than myself and somebody is
listening.”

@Sheriff-13578:
it was most probably a toy… not like any of the aussie’s would know the difference…
as to how he got it in…? well in his coffin of course…
personally i think it would’ve been even funnier if makaya had done it… but yes, have to say i agree with you that many would have overreacted to it….
reminds me of story of a christmas party and anfield many years ago… the players had to come in fancy dress… so they start arriving and one idiot is dressed in a realistic KKK ‘duvet and pillow case’…
everyone wondering who had the lack of class to dress like that and was worried but noone wanted to create a scene and tell him to change or leave… everyone was particularly worried about what john barnes would think and say when he arrives…
so a pretty tense time for liverpool’s bash waiting for john to pitch up…
but john is late and the tension mounts… so eventually one of the management goes up the guy and says look this isn’t funny… take that off and change before john arrives…
so the guy takes off the hood and bursts out laughing… it was john barnes…
guess it wouldn’t have been as funny as if bruce grobelaar did that…
14 Dec 2012, 12:39 pm
makhaya is a real legend.
a sportsman for young kids to look up to for his conduct on the field.

john barnes!
now that was a man who could shuffle! what a legend he was for me growing up. even when he was overweight or as bit chubby he was unbelievably quick and deceptive.

there is a black arts student in durbs who does some kind of performance art thing here from time to time and marches around in full kkk regalia with a huge cross.
i have chatted to him once or twice and he has had a good laugh about the abuse people (particularly white people) shout at him when they are driving past.
brave little dude.
