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.

the UK Border Agency contacted the
South Africa-born forward on Tuesday
that the process had not yet been
started, as well as offering him options
that would enable him to remain in the
United Kingdom.
“We have not curtailed Mr Fourie’s visa at
this time and he is not required to leave
the UK,” a UK Border Agency spokesman
told the Daily Telegraph.
“His employment contract with Sale Rugby
Club has been terminated and his employer
has rightly informed UKBA of this decision.
We are considering what action to take
next.
“If an individual’s circumstances change and
they no longer meet the terms of their
specific visa, they can apply for a visa of a
different type.
“Mr Fourie has been informed of the
process and the various options available to
him. It is entirely up to him if he chooses
to explore any of them further.”

9 Jan 2013, 12:20 pm
@Transformation-22258:
you know, reading that makes me think Sale may even have tried to cynically get rid of him post haste for whatever reasons they thought neccessary and in order to avoid a tear jerking session with the player and his agent they came up with the claim that the UKBA were the ones after him and they ‘unfortunately’ could not help it.
why would he have been under the impression he was being forced out when in fact the UKBA had no such plans or intentions yet?
something smells fishy.
either the club or his agent have a hand in this.
9 Jan 2013, 12:21 pm
@wnbb-22268:
Why.
Don’t you believe it?
9 Jan 2013, 12:25 pm
Let’s be brutally honest.A woman that had this blog all to herself on New Year’s Eve can only be described as a loner or butt ugly.
9 Jan 2013, 12:27 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-22244: I can try although it’s going to be very difficult as it was so long ago (possibly early 2000s?)
Please believe me when I say I’m not just posting to stir the pot; I do remember the home team widening the gap after that and winning “convincingly” but that is not the point, rather that they gained an unfair advantage through poor officiating.
I do also recall that it was not widely reported in the local media because, as I’m sure you well know, the South African media only tend to report on these sort of things when the game has gone the “wrong” way.
This applies particularly when the opposing team happens to be Australian IMO.

@Chico the Cow-wow-ward-22233:
hahaha
which doesn’t nullify your yellow hypocrisy…
feeling just a tad foolish are you…
you’ve obviously been carrying around this angst of yours for some time now… so much so that you needed to nic-shift just to have a go at me… i guess i should be honoured you think of me so much… shame… you’ve really got me under your skin haven’t you…?
what’s more you’re such a coward you didn’t have the ballas to say so under your former nic…
btw way… i’ve never said i’m great or any better than anyone else… far from it…
but hey… if i make you feel so inadequate that it feels that way to you… those are your issues and you must deal with them…
anyway your new nic is extremely appropriate…
you have ballas the size of a chihuahua…

DHL Stormers hit the training ground
- Tuesday, January 08, 2013
DHL Stormers coach Allister Coetzee wore a broad smile on his face after the second day of training at the squad’s High Performance Centre base in Bellville on Tuesday.
The Absa Currie Cup-winning coach and the rest of his coaching staff welcomed back their players to the HPC on Monday after a three-week break over the Festive Season.
However, all the players followed individual fitness programmes during the off-season and the coach was delighted with the results.
“I was satisfied with all the players – all of whom returned in great shape,” said Coetzee on Tuesday.
“We did a lot of fitness during November and December and the guys went away and stuck to their programmes over the holiday season.
“This week we will be continuing with a conditioning phase, with a rugby element to it, but next week on our pre-season camp in Hermanus our focus will be solely rugby specific.”
Coetzee will announce the squad for the Hermanus camp on Friday as well as confirming the team’s two pre-season friendlies which take place early next month.
The coach concluded: “It’s always great getting away as a squad and we’re looking forward to our trip to Hermanus.”

@Angostura-22280:
Indeed.
Zsa Zsa Gabor gave me a snacker in a lift in New York in 1982.
fame beckons.
Still I suppose I’m lucky it was her and not John Travolta.
9 Jan 2013, 13:30 pm
@BrumbiesBoy-22276:
yes thank you, more information or fotage would be welcome.
i suppose its never really easy to look at the teams one supports with a genuinely open mind.
i do try to be as objective as possible and certainly am less so immediately following on a match but more so some time after.

shocking they’ve only started training since yesterday.
not very professional in my opinion.

i have no idea bakks… and not really interested either… but pretty obvious to most that it is… obviously knows everyone well and is looking for reactions…
i find it strange that people feel the need to nic-shift… but hey… different strokes…
i take him/her as seriously as i do aids advice from zoomer…
9 Jan 2013, 13:46 pm
@gunther-22290:
would be my guess too…
@Skeppie-22292:
sheesh bud… i hope like heck they do well… but never confident that they will… got good players and management… imo… but they’ve gotta bring consistency to the table this year over everything else… have to play 80 minute games weekend after weekend…
then it we can carry the more adventurous rugby played by WP… and our players can stay fit… sure we have as much chance as the next team…
but i believe your’s is the team to beat… we got lucky in the cc final… and i have a feeling the sharks are gonna win the whole thing…
i’m a big lambie fan and really chuffed plum has made him his number one number ten…
i think he’s gonna be a revelation… (or more so than anyone expects…)
so ja… wopuld love stormers to do well and will go to every match as usual…
but reckon it’s the sharks to lose…
9 Jan 2013, 13:47 pm
@Transformation-22253:
you did cast aspersions on his character though.
why else would you see the need to frame a question to NZChina along the lines of ‘if the drug allegations/rumours stuck around him (Spies) what would i have to say’..
honestly Transie, you need to scroll back sometimes and look through some of the things you say. in the real world you would knee deep in s_hitty Litigation Creek because of half the things you say.
9 Jan 2013, 13:48 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-22293:
read the article again bud…
they haven’t only just started training… they started long ago and had a three week break… during which they all maintained their fitness programmes…
how do reckon the bulls are gonna do…? and which players should we look out for…?
9 Jan 2013, 13:54 pm
anyone feel like waking up.. or you prefer staying as fast asleep as you been the past 432,000 years
come all you pagan ritualists.. wake up .. or stay asleep.. either way you don’t have much choice in the matter its happening whether you wake up to it or not

to be honest… i really hope pierre spies comes back in great form…
in form he is an excellent player and the boks are going to need him and duane and kanko fighting for the no 8 jersey… to ensure whoever is selected is being pushed really hard by the other two…
