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.

Happy New year to you and your loved ones. I survived…..barely. Now for a day or 2 at the cricket, and THEN, the rugby
Finally things get back to normal
You have a good festive season?

Gumboots I hope this is an omen as well !!
Robzim – a mini victory indeed !!
BTW I hope Keo publishes something about the “Hore” thread !!

I’m out, going to sit and sulk in the corner for a while, then grab some sleep before starting work in 2013.
What a depressing thought.
Cheers everyone, will check in tomorrow again and aim for 21 000.
According to the Mayan and Roman calendars, both of which is apparently wrong and a hoax on mankind by Cardies 21 000 is the real prize.
If you don’t believe me, ask Skop, he will explain all the small details in a long winded soliloquy.

@Transformation-20030:
a little ditty you can sing on the 20th of April:
Echoes knocking on locked doors
All the laughter from before
I’d rather live out on the street
Than in this haunted memory
I’ve called the movers, called the maids
We’ll try to exorcise this place
Drag my mattress to the yard
Crumble, tumble house of cards
This used to be a Funhouse
But now it’s full of losing clowns
It’s time to start the countdown
I’m gonna burn it down, down, down
