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.

His mother calls him Juan—- his friends and fans call him Brok—and every opponent who ever scrummed against him calls him VerBROKkel.

Makes me very proud to see how cricket truly is transforming in this country.
2 Coaches of colour – 2 teams with players of colour galore all there on sh y te hot merit.
THIS is the business people….this is the business.

@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-13652: you cant measure transformation on colour grounds surely?

What a catch, Alviro!

@Sasuke-13617: What shape? Oval or egg?

@Robzim-13656: His brother, Pratley, has a habit of sticking around at the crease.
14 Dec 2012, 15:23 pm
13659. Yes!

@katman-13658:
They are like glue.

@The Rangerman-13653: In terms of where cricket was……in the not too distant past – to where it is now. You can measure it on any grounds you want, but you are still going to get the same answer….. Cricket for some reason, had gone about the business of becoming a ‘National Team for all’ in a very effective manner.
(Dodgy administrators, a few corruptfucks etc – none of them could stop what cricket has become – an example)
@Robzim-13656: No suprises here…****.
14 Dec 2012, 15:25 pm
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-13661: National ‘sport’ for all I meant to say (not team…)
14 Dec 2012, 15:26 pm
Shakey stuff from the Cobras here.

@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-13661:
I have a bad feeling about this match.
14 Dec 2012, 15:27 pm
Good to see the thread is still going strong
14 Dec 2012, 15:27 pm
@Robzim-13664: Your bad feeling is my good feeling. And I have have one of those about this match.
14 Dec 2012, 15:29 pm
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-13661:
For some reason?
Its plainly obvious why cricket has been able to become a truly National team sport.
I’ll give you a clue.
Its got something to do with genetics.

@katman-13666:
A lot depends on whether Levi can stick around.He can take the game away from the Lions in a flash.
14 Dec 2012, 15:30 pm
None of you would understand what it means to have one short, powerful name for your Currie Cup, Super15 and cricket teams. It’s wonderful.
Go Lions!
14 Dec 2012, 15:31 pm
I guess that answers you.
14 Dec 2012, 15:31 pm
oh dear.
14 Dec 2012, 15:31 pm
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-13661: love the fact that there is an opportunity for anyone to play (more can be done to extend facilities to townships etc but its a start). couldnt care less what colour the players are but i was just stirring the pot

Here comes the rain, here comes the rain
And I say it’s all right
Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely summer
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the rain , here comes the rain
And I say it’s all right
With apologies to George.

Ag nee man, move that cloud over here to the Cape. My garden needs watering.
14 Dec 2012, 15:39 pm
@The Rangerman-13672: Agree with you. Any kid/coach can dream about playing/coaching provincial/international cricket and it’s possible. Role models galore for all in the cricketing world. That is what makes me happy
@Robzim-13664: You and Shukri Conrad….and my husband, and Katman.
I keep the faith

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
14 Dec 2012, 15:42 pm
@Robzim-13674: It won’t help Rob, it’ll just rain again tomorrow!
Sorry, but I did warn you this morning.
14 Dec 2012, 15:42 pm
@playtheball-13682: Jeez, tell me about it. Ny lawn was greenish yesterday. By 11 this morning it had lost the will to go on.
14 Dec 2012, 15:44 pm
@katman-13688: That should read MY lawn, of course.
14 Dec 2012, 15:44 pm
Cricket score?
14 Dec 2012, 15:46 pm
@Mr Black-13690: Cobras batting, 22 for 2 after 6 and a bit overs.
14 Dec 2012, 15:47 pm
@BrumbiesBoy-13687:
You did indeed.
I see Kaizer Chiefs are playing rugby against MR Ball at the moment (supersport 6)
What is this world coming to
14 Dec 2012, 15:47 pm
Katman thought you were talking about synthetic lawn there
14 Dec 2012, 15:48 pm
@ufo-13693: Right now I wish it was synthetic.
14 Dec 2012, 15:48 pm
@katman-13691: Eina!
14 Dec 2012, 15:49 pm
@katman-13688: Don’t waste your time watering it……I watched the sprinkles from my system evaporate before they hit the ground this morning…. (all I was left with, dusty wet spots here and there)
14 Dec 2012, 15:49 pm
@katman-13694:
WP against Lions on supersprt 6 next up.
14 Dec 2012, 15:50 pm
@Mr Black-13695: One can’t be too successful at everything. Watch the Lions fuckup my WP in the 7′s game starting as well now…hehehehe.
14 Dec 2012, 15:50 pm
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-13696: I’ll do an hour from 6 to 7.
