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.

@gunther-23644: If I remember correctly, on a recent tour Southee has done pretty well on those Sri Lankan pitches generally unsuited to pacemen … so perhaps he merely experienced waning & waxing … in that order

@Mr Black-23651:
Sensationalist journalists.
Surely the headline should be “Hawks nab 10 black men for KZN ATM blasts” since they decided to run a story about “Armed, white gang”.
Race should have no place in reporting about criminal acts.
Eish, my broken country.

@WP-Forever-23654: haha, i passed the newspaper boards that screamed “exclusive: KZN ATM BOMBERS ARE WHITE!”

People always state that First Blood is very violent, but the body count is actually only one – the cop who falls from the helicopter.

sheesh…
what chance stamping out corruption when the president of the country uses it so openly and obliviously to buy votes for the next election…?
how do you explain to a local official that it is wrong to elicit a bribe when the president is asking so shamelessly for bribes…?
has anyone ever sat him down and explained exactly what corruption is…? any of the anc elders…? anyone…?
he obviously has no idea…?
is he really that ignorant..?

@CharlesM-23688: Snap
Must admit. I’m rather disappointed. Honestly thought the Kiwis would be a little ‘tougher’. (No jokes, I really did think there would be something of what we saw from them – 2nd innings Newlands test – in THIS test. Oh well…. beggars can’t be chosers

@Transformation-23683:
interesting that you have issue with my comment…
thank you transformation…
so you believe it’s correct and right for the president of south africa to tell people he will increase their wealth if they become anc members…? they will get the midas touch is they sign up…?
noted…
you’re either naive/gullible or being deliberately obtuse…
part 2…
a) ask donald trump…
b) please quote where either the GOP or Democratic party leaders have promised so publicly to increase the wealth and businesses of americans 10-fold if they become party members…?
c) making a donation to someone in whose ideals you believe to assist their campaign and buying party membership for the promise of increased wealth are two very different things… or do you believe they the same thing…?

So – any person (Zuma) who, directly or indirectly, accepts or agrees or offers to accept any gratification (investment) from any other person (businessmen), whether for the benefit of himself (Zuma) or for the benefit of another person (ANC), that amounts to the biased exercise, carrying out or performance of any powers, duties or functions arising out of a constitutional obligation (the office of president of the country).
