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.

if that nutjob wacko kid didn’t have FOUR of his mothers assault rifles and revolvers and you name it handy for him to do his deranged deed with then the little innocent kiddies in his mothers nursery school class wouldn’t be dead today.. keep singing the virtues of owning a gun.. it only shows how much further this uncivilized sapien still has to go before he ever classes himself as a civilized being

@nortierd-13947:
Loftus is a home game for the Stormers.
Don’t stress.

Popps… indeed we were…
we shall see how he and they do…

@Angostura-13902: Can’t disagree with that – very good post !!@the curse-13932: Good to hear pops – at least it is getting better. My wife’s one brother-in-law had 2 or 3 fractures in his right arm while growing up (falling out of trees etc.): Fortunately he never was a cricketer – no ways they would have allowed him to bowl with that arm – it looks (and is) very crooked. Had he been a golfer, he would have hooked every ball from the tee !!

@the curse-13948: I wanted to ask about Ali’s leadership abilities: has he been captain of a side before ? Is there anybody else except Kevin M who will be sitting out during the initial stages of Super rugby ?

so Israel is the go to example for all civilizations past and present
have you seen the extent to what the Israeli’s and Iranians are tooling up for as the standoff protocol for who gonna pull the trigger first…
yeah this planet is the embodiment of civilized human behaviour.. shoot first and ask questions later that’s the law of eyes for eyes and teeth for teeth civilized injunction civilized society abide bye
some stupid imbeciles still think that they are primordial hunters by natural design.. no wonder arseholes like that moron who shot his mother and her baby pupils with her own assault rifle are rife in this gun weilding society because it is people like you who classify yourself as primordial hunters who breed them
15 Dec 2012, 15:23 pm
@ufo-13954: yeah, have lost a few players so perhaps new coach new philosophy new atmosphere type of thing… not sold on some of the replacements though, one to watch is Saili in the centres.. heard good things about him…
@CharlesM-13955: cheers charles… breaking it once is bad enough, more the inconvenience especially being right handed… dont realise just how much you use both arms when doing everyday things… but I am hoping for a late call up to tackle the proteas as the maori muralitharan (try saying that real fast)
15 Dec 2012, 15:23 pm
Go tell Israel to put down all the weapons anlowest flowers in their gdam hair and see how long that civilised society lasts surrounded by barbarian agressors.

@skopdiekan-13957: You blaming meat in the diet for the massacre? Just exactly how fcked in the head are you, Skop? On a scale of one to ten, where ten is Jim Jones fcked.
Eight? Nine?
15 Dec 2012, 15:26 pm
What the f*ck is Imran up to? I thought he’s supposed to leak runs like a sieve.
15 Dec 2012, 15:26 pm
@the curse-13958: I’ll need a couple of beers before saying that (lol). I have tried and it doesn’t roll off the tongue quite naturally !!
15 Dec 2012, 15:28 pm
Listen if somene wants to wipe you out, you can try talking till you blue in the face, you can try appeal to humanity and reason, you can try do everything possible, and still they wanna wipe you out, what u wanna do? Huh what?
Self-defense is the most basic rule there is, it’s not only a manmade rule, but a universal rule of life, embedded into us – there are very few true pacifist humanitarians and u sure as shite ain’t one so I dunno which gdam pulpit u preaching from this morning.
15 Dec 2012, 15:28 pm
@CharlesM-13956: dont think he’s suited personally, may prove me wrong… too much of a larrikan type, might turn out to be a master stroke by JK though and am happy to be proven wrong.. just have my doubts.
we have lost both Nonu and Woodcock to the landers, think the only other person who may sit out is Weepu but dont know if that is the case…
Graham Henry as assistant is the real boon, think he was in charge last time we won the comp..
15 Dec 2012, 15:28 pm
@David-13961: IMO the Saffas are treating him with too much respect – I don’t mean it in a bad way. The Aussies batted aggressively against him and did not allow him to settle
15 Dec 2012, 15:29 pm
Popps@13958
Cool… will watch out for him..
15 Dec 2012, 15:30 pm
30-something to go…
15 Dec 2012, 15:32 pm
@the curse-13964: Yes Henry will definitely add a lot of value to the team. I don’t think Weepu should sit out for too long – we know what happened after the World Cup.
Maybe JK thinks that because Ali is a senior player ( and he has to know that Ali can be a bit of a loose cannon at times) he’ll rise to the occassion and man up. I guess only time will tell. Hopefully Ali gets over his injuries
15 Dec 2012, 15:34 pm
@ufo-13966: played 5 games last year during super rugby, debuted against the bulls..
15 Dec 2012, 15:34 pm
slow reload times on 3G… (that’s not a gun skop…
)
so doubt i’ll be a contender for 14000…
but will give it a go…
15 Dec 2012, 15:34 pm
@the curse-13964: Is there a good replacement for Tony W at loosehead ? Is Charlie F (I can’t speel his name) at the Blues (I think he was) ? I think he is a tighthead but maybe I’m wrong
15 Dec 2012, 15:35 pm
little do these idiots realize how much war and killing they generate and engender purely by the state of their own flesh devouring killing intent which they breed their societies and offspring on.. stop the killing in your own kitchen and the rest of the worlds warmongering will come to a halt of its own accord
15 Dec 2012, 15:36 pm
@CharlesM-13971: can’t spell his name: Faumaiena ??
15 Dec 2012, 15:36 pm
@CharlesM-13965:
Levi isn’t exactly a shrinking violet when it comes to taking on the bowlers. In fact that was the first ball he faced from Imran.
15 Dec 2012, 15:37 pm
Schwartzel is tearing up Leopard Creek. He’s on 20 under, and eight shots clear, and this is only day 3.
15 Dec 2012, 15:38 pm
Popps@13964
i liked the confidence of JK in appointing GH… brave stuff for a lesser experienced coach… hopefully will have the desired result…
Popps@13969… can’t remember him but will definitely look out for him this time…
15 Dec 2012, 15:38 pm
@skopdiekan-13972: No, you’re a ten. Completely mashed in the old melon.
Now shut up for the rest of the afternoon.
15 Dec 2012, 15:39 pm
@CharlesM-13968: World cup hangover for Weepu perhaps or just lived to close to kfc
personally dont see what Ali has to offer even in Super rugby anymore… should be put out to pasture imo and new talent brought in..
will be following Boric’s return closely, thought he had finally come of age just before he was injured, and if he can regain that form will be a boon for not only the Blues but the ABs as well.. 28 so has a few good years left..
15 Dec 2012, 15:40 pm
@the curse-13958: Speaking about inconvenience: a woman that went to the same school as I did (many moons ago) was viciously attacked by a dog (about 4 or 5 months ago) and they had to amputate her right arm….she has to learn to do everything with her left hand and arm – imagine doing that!!
15 Dec 2012, 15:40 pm
makatman…
what town is leopard creek in or near too in limpopo …?
15 Dec 2012, 15:42 pm
you wanna continue making guns freely available to all and sundry continue counting the cost of your free ranging policies for easy access to guns for self defence.. goes with the territory you can’t have guns free to all and then cry and lament when the society that harbours such conviction for brutality gets ravaged by its own lack of human value.. stop killing in your own kitchen first then guns and everything else that go with the territory of owning such death desiring uncivilized pieces of auxillery artillery will go out of fashion simultaneoulsy

@ufo-13980: Malelane (southern border of the Kruger).
15 Dec 2012, 15:43 pm
Come all you lurkers peeping through the keyhole while waiting for the big 14 – get out & show urselves!!!
15 Dec 2012, 15:43 pm
@the curse-13978: I forgot about Boric. Yes he still have a lot of rugby to play – if I’m not mistaken he is family are farmers. I think it was him – I saw a documentary about Boric (I think) a few years ago. It must be nice knowing that you can go back to farming after your rugby career
15 Dec 2012, 15:43 pm
sheesh charles, that’s terrible…
another weapon that should be banned are vicious dogs…
15 Dec 2012, 15:44 pm
thanks katman…
15 Dec 2012, 15:44 pm
@CharlesM-13971: faumuiana is indeed a tighthead..
Tom McCartney will probably get the nod but is ordinary imo..
other three props in the squad are quite young
Angus Ta’avao 22 1.94m 124kg (from NZ U20s)
Ofa Tu’ungafasi 20 1,95m 129kg (from under 20s side)
Tim Perry 24 played for tasman, first year Super rugby.. 1.8m 116kg
all from blues website.
15 Dec 2012, 15:44 pm
@katman-13982: According to a friend that has been there on a golf trip, it is a beautiful place
15 Dec 2012, 15:45 pm
@CharlesM-13988: Looks amazing on telly.
15 Dec 2012, 15:45 pm
@katman-13977: and you are a cold blooded killer whether you able to accept or recognize it or not .. you not far from the same killer that kills for the sake of it.. because in fact that is exactly what you do every day of your killing spree life.. you want society to grow up and become civilized then start growing up and becoming civilized yourself cold blooded murdering killing schmuck deluxe
15 Dec 2012, 15:45 pm
@ufo-13986: That’s between Nelspruit and Komatipoort.
15 Dec 2012, 15:46 pm
yeah katman… i know thanks
15 Dec 2012, 15:46 pm
@skopdiekan-13990: Fck off, loonie twat,
15 Dec 2012, 15:46 pm
love that part of the world… just didn’t know where the course was
15 Dec 2012, 15:46 pm
Bert Le Clos new Supersport ad is cool.
15 Dec 2012, 15:47 pm
@the curse-13987: Thanks pops, yes McCartney hasn’t impressed me as a prop. I think it was “nice” to have him on the bench because he can cover hooker and loosehead. That Ofa guy sounds like a “man mountain” !!
15 Dec 2012, 15:47 pm
@CharlesM-13979: couldnt imagine losing an arm at all… would be devastating
15 Dec 2012, 15:47 pm
