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.

I had to post something Tree or are you looking for reinforcements?
29 Dec 2012, 19:26 pm
@CharlesM-18899:
Good luck to you as we’ll.
I’ve missed 4 by one post either side.
Not easy at all
29 Dec 2012, 19:26 pm
@Charles…..you bragging!!!! You have to be a Stormer
29 Dec 2012, 19:28 pm
Am feeling insecure and want reinforcements.
29 Dec 2012, 19:28 pm
Ufo, the “Kwikdraw” might not be regarded as a compliment by all !!
29 Dec 2012, 19:30 pm
Tree I’m a………..supporter of the Stormers! But I’m not bragging – you should know by now that we have been humbled by Super rugby !!
29 Dec 2012, 19:30 pm
Let’s run with it please!!

@nortierd-18844:
hi Nortie,
ja beslis, John is en sal altyd n legende wees.
Grant hou aan asof John self die kapteinskap gekies het. ek verstaan hy voel John het te lank in bok span aagehou en het verkies dat bismarck liewers die bok haker in die wereldbeker moes wees maar daardie saga is nou agter ons en verby.
vir al wat John vir ons rugby gedoen het sal jy dink die minste wat ons kan doen is om hom die respek te gee wat hy oor 11 jare verdien het.
hy roep hom nogsteeds ‘plod’…?..
@CharlesM-18846:
wow! are you joking?
that is interesting.
personally, if i was involved with the lions i would not take him back (assuming that is what he wanst to do).
29 Dec 2012, 19:30 pm
hahaha…
yes… could be misconstrued charles…
but was meant as a compliment with respect to your fine record in hitting the 1000s…
29 Dec 2012, 19:32 pm
The wife wants me to load the boot with our bags for tomorrow’s “journey” to Hermanus!!
29 Dec 2012, 19:33 pm
@Treehugger-18852:
it really shouldn’t be an argument anymore, Tree.
but ja, i agree… legend….
@David-18868:
@ufo-18870:
i do dislike the kiwis and their rugby… a lot at times…
but i wouldn’t go so far as to say i hate any of them (including Poppa).
29 Dec 2012, 19:34 pm
Actually I think all you guys with triples get your spouses online as well and when you send they do the double wham and send from the computer or their phone and so the cycle goes.
29 Dec 2012, 19:35 pm
Bakkies, I saw it on sport24: on his way back to the Lions
Ufo, I know bud – was only joking!
29 Dec 2012, 19:37 pm
Tree, my wife has in fact told me that I spend too much time on keo!!
No way she’ll help me!!
29 Dec 2012, 19:37 pm
Chuck the stuff in the boot Charles have a feeling we will still be toodling along. Have to put on Peaceful Sleep quickly, the kamikazi pilots are out in force and attacking.
29 Dec 2012, 19:39 pm
@David-18871:
no, its really more about wp supporters attitudes and most times in no way deserved arrogance in the way they put down other supporters teams and players.
i do understand that this is clearly a cape town and wp blog so accept that will come through a lot.
29 Dec 2012, 19:40 pm
Tree, I’m serious! She actually gave me an article to read about people spending too much time on line – questionnaire as well. I read the article, did the q.naire and afterwards I could tell her in all honesty that I don’t have a problem!!! Seriiaas !!
29 Dec 2012, 19:40 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-18908:
Stem 100% saam.
29 Dec 2012, 19:40 pm
@CharlesM-18913:
fark me.
thats crazy.
29 Dec 2012, 19:42 pm
Ok now have protection, hands won’t be eaten and hopefully they won’t try fly into my eyes trying to blind me as so I can’t bash them. Seems to be a new attack tactic, going for the eyeballs.
29 Dec 2012, 19:42 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-18916: hi Bakkies – the generalisations again !! Don’t paint us all with the same brush…..please….please
29 Dec 2012, 19:43 pm
i see john Mitchell has left Sale already after only 2 games
29 Dec 2012, 19:43 pm
ok look
i am just going to come out with it
is john mitchell g a y ?
29 Dec 2012, 19:44 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-18916:
Don’t quite agree with that.
The blog is there for all supporters.
The problem lies in emotion.
Like I mentioned to you earlier, if there was an edit or remove option, maybe some would use that when seeing and reading what they wrote whilst emotionally charged.
29 Dec 2012, 19:45 pm
This mobile is slower than Geoff Boycott’s strike rate lol!!
29 Dec 2012, 19:45 pm
@CharlesM-18921:
sorry Charles, i retract my comment.
29 Dec 2012, 19:46 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-18923:
He he, you just want to come out with it, nice choice of words.
More seriously though, I have also heard that rumor and that it was part of his player problem at the Lions.
Don’t know if it’s true or not
29 Dec 2012, 19:46 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-18923: dunno abt *** but he is sure building a bad reputation for himself
29 Dec 2012, 19:48 pm
@Charles…lol…me neither, my phone is just permanently in my hand or back pocket of jeans for quick easy access.
Actually I love it, I don’t have to leave the property to chat with people. When I do its just around here to friends game farms, but mostly they come here. Am a bit anal about leaving the animals and propery and am hands on and love it.
29 Dec 2012, 19:48 pm
@CharlesM-18925:
If it was half as fast as his mouth you would have hit 20 000 already
29 Dec 2012, 19:49 pm
Eish – I’ve never heard that about JM before !! Is that the reason why all the findings were never “made public” ?
Dankie Bakkies !!!
29 Dec 2012, 19:51 pm
@nortierd-18924:
yes i agree, it is unfair to paint a whole group on the basis of one or two supporters comments on a public forum.
take Grant10 as an example… after all this time he still refers to John Smit as ‘plod’ and i wont even go into some of the names and ways he refers to most bulls players.
i do enjoy him when he’s not being an idiot though.
29 Dec 2012, 19:51 pm
@Treehugger-18929:
I must send my daughter to you.
She absolutely loves dogs in particular and got her “1st job” feeding and tending to people’s dogs while they are on holiday.
We live in an estate and she dropped of flyers advertising dog walking etc. and I’m so glad someone called her.
29 Dec 2012, 19:51 pm
Nasty thing rumors, can be very destructive.
Its like the rumor about the Stormers underwear during games, is it true they wear pink or lavender G-Strings
29 Dec 2012, 19:52 pm
@Treehugger-18929: Tree, that first half of your last sentence….. Please explain: I’m Afrikaans speaking – did I miss something or am I just “dof” ?
29 Dec 2012, 19:52 pm
@nortierd-18927:
@papaown-18928:
dont you think this explains a lot about his ‘personality problems’..?..
29 Dec 2012, 19:53 pm
@CharlesM-18931:
Charles, the story has been doing the rounds up here for a while. Not sure if it’s true or whether it actually led to the player revolt.
29 Dec 2012, 19:54 pm
Tree “am a bit anal” ?
29 Dec 2012, 19:57 pm
@nortierd-18937: which story?
29 Dec 2012, 19:57 pm
@CharlesM-18931:
hehe
dont quote me on it Charles, i heard it here.
if true, i think it would explain a lot.
and for the record, if true, i certainly would not have a problem with that at all.
unless it was schoolboy rugby he was coaching, then i would but thats just me.
sexual orientation is of no consequence where adults are concerned.
29 Dec 2012, 19:57 pm
@Norty……ah dogs not my big thing, rescuing from dog fighting yes, otherwise only have 6.
My specialty in sanctuary care is primates. Up until about 18 months ago helped out with other stuff, still help a bit now and again when absolutely necessary, but it is very taxing emotionally and a bit dodgy at times.
29 Dec 2012, 19:58 pm
Tree, I can “state categorically that the Stormers don’t have any of those pink tendencies” !!
29 Dec 2012, 19:59 pm
Tree that last sentence please !!
29 Dec 2012, 20:00 pm
@papaown-18939:
Regarding his sexual tendencies.
As I stated, the rumor has been going for a while that he is g a y and that it was part of the problem with the players, but as Treehugger rightly pointed out, rumors are ugly and dangerous things.
I have no knowledge whether there is any truth in it or not, I just happen to hear it as well.
29 Dec 2012, 20:00 pm
Bakkies I won’t quote you only – Nortie as well !!
29 Dec 2012, 20:01 pm
I am a control freak and prefer doing everything my self, don’t like help , so don’t like leaving property. And your English is p*ssperfect, I don’t explain well and am always distracted multitasking.
29 Dec 2012, 20:01 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-18940: are u saying the rumours are that jm us g a y?
29 Dec 2012, 20:01 pm
Any lurkers out there ?
29 Dec 2012, 20:02 pm
@CharlesM-18945:
(nervous laugher) hehehe
29 Dec 2012, 20:02 pm
