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.

@carol-19497: Yes I’ve met the blond! Very pleasant lady!
Robzim – a very nice guy as well.
Have you met “Just Rugby” who has since left the site ? I have spent some time with them all, except the blonde, at Newlands
Glad to hear that the British Media aren’t interested in the Afrikaner: somebody is just trying to attract some attention!!

@carol-19501:
i think a lot of people are concerned about his ever frail state of health.
its the same over here with our media and is not helped by the government ridiculously trying to deceive us intentionally about his health and wellbeing because they somehow think its for our own good..?..
they’ve even gone so far as to publish false information about him going to a specific hospital when in fact he was at another, and then had a number of ministers and others visit the bogus non-existant Madiba at the hospital he wasn’t at

Chinese Sick Leave: “I no come work today”
Wong Chow calls into work and says, “I no come work today, I really sick. Got headache, stomach ache and legs hurt, I no come work…”
The boss says, “You know something Wong Chow, I really need you today. When I feel sick like you do, I go to my wife and tell her to give me s e x. That makes everything better and I go to work… You try that.”
Two hours later Wong Chow calls again. “I do what you say and I feel great… I be at work soon… You got nice house.”

Howzit Whits! Ja! I’m totally ‘gatvol’ of South African politics. It is no longer about the people of this country, but about how much they can milk while in power.
The spinning drives me ‘mal’!
31 Dec 2012, 17:34 pm
i mean its kind of inevitable considering his age so its not as if we’ll thrown into turmoil if and when he does go.
of course it could all be simply to protect him from too much media/public attention, which is understandable.
i certanily would be very sad when he dies. he truly was an exceptionally incredible individual and we were blessed to have him.

@CharlesM-19502:
Just Rugby is wonderful, very dry sense of humour, great company and has the added bonus of being tall and good looking!!
He and Grant were great company on our first visit!
South Africans are a bit of a mystery to most Brits.

31 Dec 2012, 18:48 pm
@playtheball-19528:
Best to U too.
I am with you regarding the Stormers.They have “practiced” enough, now for winning it.
Will also be nice if Chris Froome can win the TdF in 2013 and for Liverpool to become a decent football team again- and for the Proteas to stay no 1 – and for Jordy Smith to make it to the top- … and for the Kings to surprise the doomsayers and win a few matches
31 Dec 2012, 18:51 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-19529: @Robzim-19530: Thanks mates.
I’m not greedy Rob, so Stormers and Proteas would be more than enough for me.
Out to party now – see you next year.

John Mitchell on the move again
The turbulent career of former All Blacks coach John Mitchell continues as he quit English club Sale to return to South Africa.
Mitchell had only been in the English Premiership job for a month with the struggling Sharks after clearing his name in South Africa amidst a pile of misconduct allegations from his time with the Golden Lions in Johannesburg.
Now the 48-year-old is going back to South Africa ”for personal reasons”.
Mitchell joined Sale, which is bottom of the English Premiership, on November 28 and was in charge for five matches. Mitchell had helped Sale to just their second win of the season against Worcester yesterday as the Sharks battle to avoid relegation.
Sale confirmed he has left his role with club owner Brian Kennedy releasing a statement that read: “John was brought in on a consultancy basis with a view to the possibility of being employed in a longer term position within Sale Sharks.
“He has had to return to South Africa for personal reasons which we respect. We are grateful for his valuable and insightful contributions albeit for a shorter term than envisaged.
“Steve Diamond, Bryan Redpath and Pete Anglesea will continue to coach the side, implementing many of John’s ideas, and building on last night’s excellent performance.”
Mitchell’s family has remained in South Africa. It’s unclear if Mitchell will return to the Golden Lions where he was moved to a technical advisor role rather than being in charge of the first team coaching.

Let me get this in before that idiot,Bakkies .
. Auckland – All Blacks captain Richie McCaw is reported to be dating an English woman who organises high-priced *** parties and is a friend of the Duchess of Cambridge.
According to the Stuff
website
, the pair met during the All Blacks’ recent end of year tour to the UK, and McCaw – who turns 32 today – was said to be ready to use his six-month sabbatical from the game to pursue the relationship, according to Woman’s Day.
Emma Sayle, 34, was described as six-foot tall, a colonel’s daughter and the boss of Killing Kittens, where strictly vetted couples pay up to $300 each to attend *** parties.
She was a church-going Christian who said she never took part in the parties.
She knew Kate Middleton through boarding school, with the pair bonding after the future queen joined Sayle’s charity group, The Sisterhood, which paddled a dragon boat across the English Channel in 2007.
In May, Sayle broke off an engagement to the son of former England cricketer Sir Ian Botham, and has previously dated England rugby player James Haskell.
