Hore set for hefty ban

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.

    Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica ?

    Where do they go?

    Wonder no more ! !

    It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.

    If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.

    The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:

    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .

    “Freeze a jolly good fellow.”
    “Freeze a jolly good fellow.”

    @shooter-23100: And nothing like the skill of running at a rounded 30km/h, placing irregular elliptical ball onto foot and chip with precision over an opposing defender, intent on cutting you in half, regather and score a try…

    Beats the “skill” of cricket any day…

    @Heavens Game-23103: ok. if you say so.
    Go and face Dale Steyn for 18 balls.
    or Tait, or Shultz, or Morkel for that matter.
    Gary Kirsten’s innings of over 12 hours? No skill. Sure.
    Or bat while 80 000 Indian fans are going crazy for you to lose your wicket.
    No skill? No mindset? No sport?

    Ya ya, Id like to see you or anyone for that matter take a hit to the helmet like Smith just took from Bracewell.
    And he’s not the quickest around.

    What about Marshall hitting Gatting, I think it was, flush on the nose without a helmet?

    There is fear there and skill required to overcome it.

    An innings, skill? Farkoff, nothing more than mind numbingly boring self hypnosis…

    80 000 Indian fans are going crazy for you to lose your wicket – jeez, I reckon a farken Britney Spears concert gets more hysteria for absolutely farkall….

    biff, kallis and steyn clearly look like they could go a few rounds but the rest look like they’d crumple at the first punch.

    Ya seen a bit of him already. Bit of uncertainty about his height, some say he’s 6.10, others say hes over 7 ft.

    He’s not that quick, gets alot of bounce though. Theres a youtube clip of Strauss smashing him around a bit.

    Should be interesting to watch anyhow.

    @Heavens Game-23124: Test cricket (especially a series of 5 Tests between well-matched opponents) is ultimately a contest of (military) strategy & tactics in which the players are the forces with diverse strengths & weaknesses, & the diverse pitches, weather conditions, the spin of the coin, injuries, unforseen weather interruptions, etc. are the variables that unpredictably influence the theatres of battle where the officers & forces meet.

    Tis an engrossing war game … if you like … second to none.

    but board games take place in controlled, “sterile” environments – there is no contending with the elements (force of nature) & there is no actual, real time physical contests between athletes
    yet, intellectual contests between their respective “backroom” & on-field strategists/tacticians (as is the case with board games) are there as well …
    a truly special game

    The one remains merely an intellectual game, & the other transcends that …
    and that’s that
