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.

He normally supports the saffers against the convicts but he is particularly miffed with us today.

@snivelling little kiwi pricks-127:
You are another tool. Who is defending Hore?
Yet there you stand, shoulder to shoulder with a hypocrite who holds up as his champion non other than the greatest thug in SA rugby history.
As far as I am concerned Hore deserves everything that is coming to him.
All the while you and your tool shed buddy would rejoice if the Bokke were filled to the gunwales with low character thugs of Bakkies Botha ilk.

@Esoteric-158: well, we’ve been told often that World rugby is really weak at the moment…probably because the ABs are still uindefeated as World champions..
so the comparison fits really well imo..
