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.

@nortierd-20788:
hehehe
i’m pretty sure every other sa union enjoys it just as much to see WP lose, just to give a nice FY to their supporters.
no other fans are as pathetic, seriously.
its just the gobsmacking windgatness of the putdowns that i find aFUCKINGmazing really… HG,Tac and the others are right, you guys all come on here from the first to the last with the farkin airs of a seven times champion squad (as if) as though you’ve actually won anything worth winning in the last 16 years…
its amazing really
you all do it
and the way you dismiss and put down players from other unions..?..
fark me
‘look out world, weepee’s on the attack’…
hahaha
what farking attack..?..
3 Jan 2013, 16:10 pm
Vern’s taking a bit of a pasting in this spell, after a brilliant opening one. At least the Kiwis are putting up a fight and taking it to our attack.

@TooMuchRugby-20799: Ooops.
Dankie. I meant 0.000000006…..
Steyn throwing evil eyes and tantrums now…

@nortierd-20792:
I think they should bring Quinton de Kock into the side. He is as good a batsmen and wicketkeeper. Then AB can assume the role of the excellent fielder he is.

I’ve been supporting EP since I was a laaitie, but WP comes close second
3 Jan 2013, 16:14 pm
Bakkies needs a lie down.He is getting to Sharkslover territory now.
3 Jan 2013, 16:14 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-20801:
Ag shame, do we make you feel inferior?
3 Jan 2013, 16:15 pm
@TooMuchRugby-20804:
Agree, he can be groomed so long, if he continues the way he is, he can play for the Proteas for a very long time.

Ain’t it nice. All we need now is a new thread. This one is getting stale ….. of hoe se ek transie?

@TooMuchRugby-20806:
Interesting, the majority of EC friends I have, have all turned Bull supporters since EP has fallen out of the larger competitions.
Wonder if they will now support the Kings or stick with the Bulls?

@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-20789:

@wnbb-20807:
enjoy it while it lasts, big mouth
fark i hope your teams lose
@TooMuchRugby-20808:
you need to win a rugby trophy in order to do that.
3 Jan 2013, 16:23 pm
@nortierd-20811: I grew up in EC, but have been living in WC for 20 years now, so that explains it.

Will the Currie Cup do?
3 Jan 2013, 16:26 pm
@TooMuchRugby-20817:
well then you need to win many more and while you’re at it… aim higher…
3 Jan 2013, 16:27 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-20815:
He he
@TooMuchRugby-20816:
Ok, but still don’t understand their infatuation with the Bulls.
Think it’s time I make new friends there then, ha ha

@Angostura-20814:
Again? Nothing new……….
3 Jan 2013, 16:29 pm
Good old Robbie, first with the bat, now with the ball
3 Jan 2013, 16:29 pm
Robbie P you beauty !!!
3 Jan 2013, 16:31 pm
Must be great for an umpire to give out the same batsman twice within a minute !!
3 Jan 2013, 16:32 pm
@CharlesM-20823:
Lol, wonder if they ever feel the urge to tell the batsman ” told you so”
3 Jan 2013, 16:33 pm
Good day all!
I spent more than 2 hours to drive home from Hermanus – it’s usually a 90 minute drive. Traffic hectic!!
At least I can watch some cricket now!!
3 Jan 2013, 16:34 pm
@CharlesM-20825:
Back at home safe and sound.
Good to hear
3 Jan 2013, 16:34 pm
At least the Bulls got their secret weapon….Big Vic,the attack coach.All is not lost.
3 Jan 2013, 16:36 pm
Yes Nortie I’m sure that they often feel like saying it!!
Had to get back for my son’s matric results
3 Jan 2013, 16:38 pm
Bakkies, I haven’t had the time to read through the posts but it seems some of my fellow Stormers’ supporters made you a little………….angry ?
3 Jan 2013, 16:39 pm
@CharlesM-20828:
Glad you made it.
He do well enough for you?
3 Jan 2013, 16:39 pm
@TooMuchRugby-20776: @TooMuchRugby-20776: who asked whether you were pro or anti transformation?
you make glib statements about who is generalising btwn rice & odendaal & when slightly challenged ascribe chips on shoulders
yeah right.
just address the issues at hand & leave your own assumptions…
3 Jan 2013, 16:40 pm
@nortierd-20821:
what do you mean ‘first with the bat?’
3 Jan 2013, 16:41 pm
The fact that Marius Jonker will no longer officiate super rugby matches is another a bitter blow for the Bull’s chances to end in the top 6 during 2013.
3 Jan 2013, 16:42 pm
@John Galt-20832:
Sorry, my mistake.
My fingers ran away without my brain registering it’s not Alviro.
Apologies.
3 Jan 2013, 16:44 pm
@Robzim-20833:
. You are going to give Bakkies a stroke!
3 Jan 2013, 16:44 pm
@nortierd-20834:
Ha,no worries. I did the same thing with Alviros dropped catch earlier.
3 Jan 2013, 16:46 pm
@John Galt-20836:
Thanks for pointing it out though, way wrong
3 Jan 2013, 16:48 pm
@Transformation-20831:
Sigh…….let’s leave it at that.
What are the issues at hand in your opinion?
3 Jan 2013, 16:49 pm
The fact that the Sanzar instructed their refs to make knock-ons an offence again will also impact heavily on the bulls winning-record at home.
3 Jan 2013, 16:53 pm
@CharlesM-20829:
hi Charles,
ag they’re just taking cheap shots because there’s no sharkies or others around.
way too much trash talk and way too little titles to start the tough talk if you ask me.
like this joker —————> @Robzim-20833: seriously.. seriously..?..
3 Jan 2013, 16:55 pm
20830 Nortie – he actually did quite well considering the amount of time he did NOT study.
This year will be the real test though at varsity. If he equals his marks, I’ll be a very happy chap!!
We all know that with the temptations “lurking” when on your own, it’s the real test for your dedication and commitment (or lack thereof – which I hope is not the case) !!
3 Jan 2013, 16:56 pm
@TooMuchRugby-20752:
Ha ha pull my other finger
3 Jan 2013, 16:56 pm
@CharlesM-20841:
Congratulations are still in order.
Any chance we must be looking out for him in the Varsity Cup or is it a bit soon?
3 Jan 2013, 17:00 pm
@TooMuchRugby-20817:
Even a broken watch is right twice a day, it had to happen eventually given the fact that the CC is so watered down these days
For three quarters of the season Griquas tops the CC log for Pete’s sake
3 Jan 2013, 17:02 pm
I’m not familiar with Morne van der Merwe, do you guys remember him?
http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/Former-SA-prop-gravely-ill-20130103
3 Jan 2013, 17:03 pm
Bakkies I think Rob is pulling your leg !!
Having said that I’m not a big Jonker fan !
One ref I’m concerned about is Lourens v d Merwe. He is a teacher and he often acts like one !! (No disrespect to teachers in general)
Nortie no, he plays prop and is far too young IMO to play there – he is no Kitshoff !! He has some talent but is a bit “slapgat” .
3 Jan 2013, 17:03 pm
the only AUTHORITY on referees on this forum is Hondo
the rest are pretenders.
3 Jan 2013, 17:04 pm
Nortie, thank you BTW !!
3 Jan 2013, 17:07 pm
@CharlesM-20848:
You’re welcome.
Next year this time it’s my turn to await those results.
3 Jan 2013, 17:07 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-20801: Sweeping generalisations are the cause of much friction in this world meneer.
