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.

I have to say I was staggered last season when The Bulls ran out in pink…. Fark, it was SO pink!!

@nortierd-22887:
They make a lot of money selling new strips, the Bulls made a fortune selling those @#$%^ pink jerseys last year
It might also tie in with the sponsorship contracts, ie to give this year’s sponsor visibility you have to entice the public with a new design

Dit was n minor glipsie, sulke dinge gebeur so af en toe.
This year we will be ready, at least I hope so.
Nice run in, bye weekend then practice match at Loftus worth 4 points.

as kids we used to pull the long sleeves over our hands in the rain cause we believed it made handling the wet and slippery leather balls a little easier…
don’t actually know if it did… but believing it did was what counted…!

I am out of the 23,000 race. The casserole is calling and a nice glass of Merlot!!
Thanks for the chat boys, nearly like Night Owls days, lets do it again!!

@nortierd-22898:
We should let them play in those jerseys against the Bulls in pink
See if we can break the world record for the most people vomiting at the same time

O my word – how original!! I’ve used a rifle on the shooting range a couple of times.
“Unconvicted murder” bwahahahaha!!!!
His royal highness can surely do better than that!

@carol-22903:
the jerseys I could still accept and live with, but the shorts and socks was a major mistake.
the could have kept that blue.
those butch boys like Greyling ran around like castrated bulls for the whole first half trying to find their manhood.
10 Jan 2013, 22:04 pm
they may not have been too pretty in pink carol…
but i really admired them for their innovative marketing…
very pleasant surprise from an allegedly conservative union…
and it sure got people talking about the bulls…
mission accomplished…!

@carol-22903:
It was so pink, hard on the eyes and everything else, last season probably shortened my tv’s lifespan by at least a year

That record was held at a midnight screening for the Exorcist in Pretoria in 1988 when the movie was still banned, but they allowed a special screening.

10 Jan 2013, 22:07 pm
I was so proud of my long sleeved Transvaal jersey I bought in the 80s…paid the exhorbitant price of R50 for it at Ellis Park. My luck OFS came to town that day and put 50 points past us!!!

I remember playing rugby barefoot in primary school early on a Saturday morning when the frost was white on top of a field as hard as concrete.
Your feet lost all feeling in a couple of minutes and you never ever kicked the ball, it was too painful
10 Jan 2013, 22:09 pm
‘verwyder’? -According to FW/Charles(remember collective guilt) simply meaning to remove Mr Goniwe away from his teaching post in Cradock!A new teaching post called ‘Death’?More blood on your hands little dammed boy!

BBoy during my year at Roodepoort we “managed” the Topsport suite on the eastern stand: one big hall with 3 bars and lots to eat before and after matches. I was one of the guys preventing (or at least trying to) the ticket holders to take their drinks into the stand.
We weren’t always too popular but Doc Luyt was adamant to keep the alcohol to the suite itself
10 Jan 2013, 22:13 pm

kicking those leather balls when wet as a laatjie would make you feel like you were kicking air-bricks…

@victoriabok-22930:
First the jersey was to blend in with the jacarandas.
When that speel didn’t work, it was made to order for Pienktoria!
