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.

@NZINCHINA-19794:
well as long as he or we expect to win, he or we are not gonna take anyone to the cleaners…
despite what anyone says… one of our biggest handicaps in south african sport is complacency and over-confidence…
anyway we’ll see what happens at newlands… i’ve joining a friend in his box on thursday so we shall see what we shall see…

@NZINCHINA-19801:
cheers china…

@NZINCHINA-19800:
If things pan out according to plans, but we never know.
This time though, you don’t have the benefit of a Fleming or Vetorri, so you could be right.

@nortierd-19798:
its taught/trained at team level, Nortie.
its patently obvious when looking at the way they play (infringe) and has pretty much been admitted to by people like Wayne Smith, Mitchell, Marshall and others.
yes, they do have skilled rugby players but its the cheating which distinguishes them.
1 Jan 2013, 17:17 pm
@NZINCHINA-19799:
no, too much pressure agianst your cheating.
its starting to tell, judging by the way you were reffed that day straight after the Hore incident.
and now the new tmo rules.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-19805:
Sjoe, weet nie mooi van daai een nie.
Anyway, dan is dit tyd dat ons spelers bykom en ook die boundaries bietjie push.

Happy New Year to all Keolings…
May the year ahead be a Stormer of a year…

Libiamo ne’ lieti calici (Let’s drink from the joyful cup)!
“Let’s drink, let’s drink from the joyous chalices
that beauty so truly enhances.
And the brief moment will be inebriated
with voluptuousness.
Let’s drink for the ecstatic feeling
that love arouses.
Because this all-powerful eye aims straight to the heart.
Let’s drink, my love, and the love among the chalices
will make the kisses warmer.”
**
Happy New Year!

Same to you, and I’ll second the Year of the Stormer
@Angostura-19809:
Happy New Year to you too
1 Jan 2013, 17:41 pm
@nortierd-19810:
A Super Stormer Title would be just great…
1 Jan 2013, 17:43 pm
@Gumboots-19808:
Hey Bill… thanks…
How you doing bud…? Hope you and your family has a very loving and special time over Christmas… and that you all have a great 2013….!
1 Jan 2013, 17:46 pm
@ufo-19812:
Hey buddy! The first Christmas, New Year syndrome I guess. We looking forward to a great 2013 for sure. May you and your family have a blessed one too… Not too bad mate…
1 Jan 2013, 17:46 pm
@nortierd-19807:
as elke span en elke speler dit doen (ek sal se dis wat oor die afgelope paar jare al klaar gebeur het) waar trek jy dan n lyn in die die sand?
ja, miskien kan onse spelers leer om die reels beter te breek tot n punt maar ons noodig ook beter toesig hieroor vir alle spane anders gaan die hele spel van rugby soos ons dit ken en daarvan hou agteruit in my opinie
1 Jan 2013, 17:48 pm
Watching the documentary of the ’95 World Cup on SS1 again.
Still get goosebumps.
1 Jan 2013, 17:48 pm
@Gumboots-19813:
yeah… that’s what i was thinking… good to hear not too bad…
thanks bud…
next time you’re down here would be great to go for a beer…
1 Jan 2013, 17:49 pm
en as dit gebeur is ons almal verloorders.
1 Jan 2013, 17:50 pm
@Gumboots-19808:
and the same to you, Boots.
isn’t every year a ‘stormer of a year’..?..
1 Jan 2013, 17:50 pm
@ufo-19816:
For sure buddy! With all thats happened we are seriously thinking of moving back to CT for good… Will definitely let you know when I’m in CT again…. A beer sounds like a really good idea…
1 Jan 2013, 17:51 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-19818:
Yeah and that coming from a Bull! So you starting to see the light…
1 Jan 2013, 17:52 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-19814:
net my twee sente se werd dis al
1 Jan 2013, 17:52 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-19814:
Bakkies, dis steeds nie reg om te se elke NZ speler en span is n cheat nie.
Dit sal my kwaad maak as hulle se elke SA speler is vuil, dom en drug cheats net omdat n handjie vol die kluts kwytraak nie.
Jy mag natuurlik glo dat dit so is, maar dit maak dit nie so nie.
1 Jan 2013, 17:52 pm
@Gumboots-19819:
sound good on both counts bill…
look forward to it…
1 Jan 2013, 17:54 pm
@Gumboots-19820:
honestly, i dont care who wins as long as it doesn’t leave a sour taste in my mouth (which is what happens all too often when the kiwis do).
i really wish they’ll fix the officiating.
1 Jan 2013, 17:55 pm
@ufo-19823:
You going to watch some cricket? Make sure it is during the first three days is my guess… that’s if you are planning to going…
1 Jan 2013, 17:56 pm
@Gumboots-19825:
yeah… going on day 2 bud…
should be good…
1 Jan 2013, 17:56 pm
@nortierd-19822:
kan ons saam stem die rugby amptenare dra baie van die skuld hieroor?
1 Jan 2013, 17:57 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-19824:
1 Jan 2013, 17:58 pm
@ufo-19826:
Day two always a good day… Win the toss and bat…
1 Jan 2013, 17:59 pm
@Gumboots-19828:
1 Jan 2013, 18:02 pm
@Gumboots-19829:
yeah… reckon so…
1 Jan 2013, 18:03 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-19827:
In watter opsig?
NZ is vir rugby soos Indie vir krieket is.
Dis n waardevolle bemarkings tool, so ja, hulle kry meer reg, soos om die WB te gehou het terwyl ons bv. geignoreer was.
Wat ironies is, is as jy McCaw se boek lees vaar hy redelik erg uit oor die IRB en hulle reels, sowel as teen skydsregters soos Bryce Lawrence en Stuart Dickenson.
Dit het my nogal laat dink.
1 Jan 2013, 18:04 pm
@nortierd-19815: Yeah, working in the media centre @ EP I drank Heineken out of Bill later that night.
1 Jan 2013, 18:06 pm
@BrumbiesBoy-19833:
That must have been a thrill and a half.
1 Jan 2013, 18:06 pm
@BrumbiesBoy-19833:
… how cool is that… Also funny how a person can remember certain things. I forget so easily now days, but I remember everything about the final… Where I was, who was with me and how we celebrated…
1 Jan 2013, 18:07 pm
@Gumboots-19835:
That’s true, similar to the Cricket World Cup of ’99.

@nortierd-19834: I kid you not when I say it was the sweetest tasting beer I’d ever had!
1 Jan 2013, 18:12 pm
@nortierd-19836:
I don’t think I have ever been so depressed in all my life… I actually re-lived the run out for months after that…
1 Jan 2013, 18:13 pm
Happy New Year muddafuckersdirttruckersanddinklesuckers
Sadly, it is the Chinese Year of the Black snake……which means it could be the guppies year (slimy and sneakyfuckers)….
Hope you all had a fantastic par-ty last night.
Now for that 20 000. Not far to go….
1 Jan 2013, 18:14 pm
@nortierd-19832:
nee Nortie, ek stem met jou glad nie saam nie.
vir my le baie van NZ se foute by die IRB se deur.
NZ sal hulle selwe nie anders gedra as hulle nie gedwing word om so te doen nie.
vuil speel ruineer die game. al wat ek voor vra is n billike uitkoms vir alle spanne, dis al
1 Jan 2013, 18:15 pm
@Gumboots-19838:
Lol, didn’t we all.
Still get depro when thinking about it

Please no!
Never trust the frikken Chinese…
1 Jan 2013, 18:17 pm
@Gumboots-19835: Dunno about you but I couldn’t get drunk that night no matter how hard I tried!
1 Jan 2013, 18:17 pm
@nortierd-19841:
That was one helluva team mate… So many class allrounders in one team…
1 Jan 2013, 18:19 pm
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-19839:
Likewise, hope it’s a good 2013 for you.
I think we have established that this is the Year of the Stormer.
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-19840:
He he, jy is te set in your ways.
Ek neem aan Saterdae is moeilik vir jou, met so baie NZ spanne wat speel en meer wen as verloor
1 Jan 2013, 18:19 pm
@BrumbiesBoy-19843:
Yeah you are actually right… Couldn’t stop smiling either…
1 Jan 2013, 18:21 pm
@Gumboots-19844:
How we lost that cup I still can’t get.
We were the best in the tournament, yet it went so wrong.
I don’t care what others think of Hansie, but I will never forget that absolute look of anguish with the run out.
1 Jan 2013, 18:24 pm
@nortierd-19832:
indie se bydrae aan krieket is in terme van ongelooflike ondersteuner nommers en n soortgelykse/insgelykse ongelooflike finasiele bydrae ook.
wat is NZ se bydrae aan rugby ander as hulle span (wie by die reels nie mooi kan speel nie)..?..
1 Jan 2013, 18:25 pm
@Gumboots-19842: The Year of the snake comes with a flee year galantee.
@nortierd-19845: One must remain humble pre-season

@nortierd-19845:
ek blameer die amptenare eerstens and die keewees tweedens
