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.

That’s a very deflating prospect

@nortierd-23797: Nortier,
you are correct:
Gary Kirsten appoints Hashim Amla as the Vice Captain of South Africa
After being confirmed as the South African Coach, Gary Kirsten appointed Hashim Amla as the deputy of AB de Villiers.
De Villiers has been named as the new captain of South Africa for the limited-over formats, while Smith will continue leading the Test side.
On the occasion, Amla expressed his happiness by saying, “I did take a long time to think about it, I feel it is a huge responsibility. AB as captain for me is an excellent move; I have always respected him as a person. I think I am not good enough person to handle captaincy. I turned down Dolphins captaincy to stick to my batting, and when this came up I got it.”

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-23863:
In the same way you love Bakkies.
14 Jan 2013, 15:21 pm
@Mr Black-23837:
Interesting one Mr.B.
Maybe if Hersch was disaplined it would suppress his natural talent and carefree nature which would inhibit his game.
14 Jan 2013, 15:23 pm
@Dawn-23836:
@Dawn-23838:
you’re an idiot
14 Jan 2013, 15:24 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-23869:

No smiley face
14 Jan 2013, 15:25 pm
@Jeraldjay-23868:
Also possible…..
But i would like to think not. Even the best can get better with discipline.
14 Jan 2013, 15:27 pm
@Sheriff-23844:
hahaha

14 Jan 2013, 15:31 pm
@Transformation-23861:
What is BMI? is it like the pencil test?
14 Jan 2013, 15:33 pm
@Dawn-23867:
wow, good question.
i suppose so, i’m not sure.
there is a number of south african sportsmen and women who i love.
Bakkies was special.
we may never see a player of his kind again. the rules and nature of the game is changing to much. its not the same anymore.
14 Jan 2013, 15:36 pm
@Mr Black-23873:
Are you for real
14 Jan 2013, 15:36 pm
@Angostura-23866:
wow!
that is amazing.
my respect for him has just gone up some more.
we are blessed with good cricketing talent at the present.
we may be entering a golden age before our very eyes.
i dont see any other test nation realistically challenging us this decade.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-23874:
Did you really think it was a serious question
14 Jan 2013, 15:37 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-23874:
Bakkies, let it be known that you are not lekker up there where it matters. Or you are playing your role as the village idiot very well.
14 Jan 2013, 15:40 pm
@Mr Black-23873: body mass index…

@Mr Black-23878:

14 Jan 2013, 15:43 pm
@Transformation-23879:
You sitting at 30?
14 Jan 2013, 15:43 pm
@wnbb-23851:
It’s a tough one for people to deal with.
Whites in SA have enjoyed economic superiority and feel quite justified in determining what’s ok and what’s not. In a way you cannot blame them as old habits die hard, but it’s no excuse to persist with these tendencies.
It will take time to change. One of the teachings of apartheid was that ‘white’ is really the ideal state of being. We have not recovered from this false teaching yet.
It will remain that way for as long as people define success in material terms as SA whites have a few generations head start on the rest of us in terms of accumulating wealth.
We need not blame them but I’d like to see that more and more people abandon the path of self-loathing and embrace the self.

Where is the resident psychologist when you need her?

Your taliban quote from earlier today is beyond stupid…….

14 Jan 2013, 15:48 pm
@Dawn-23889:
And yours?
14 Jan 2013, 15:54 pm
Here’s 2 confessions:
1. I will fail the pencil test.
2. The BMI is 29
How do I proceed from here?
14 Jan 2013, 15:55 pm
@Heavens Game-23860: All boring ‘pencil’ tests…. **yawn**.
My fave is the one where I shove a pencil up your nose and into your grey matter, and then ask you your name, age and telephone number.
Best test by far.
14 Jan 2013, 15:55 pm
@Mr Black-23878: in the case of our friend here the former is true.
any man that switches his principles like onder broek on the basis of an idol…
imagine puma being “enamoured” by the Kings all because Lambie signed for them..
14 Jan 2013, 15:57 pm
Question to our NZ friends.
Is it true that you are only as good as your last game?

14 Jan 2013, 15:59 pm
Is BMI 29 good or bad
14 Jan 2013, 15:59 pm
@Nikita-23895: All the best for 2013! Hope it’s a good one for you and your loved ones.
14 Jan 2013, 16:01 pm
@Dawn-23897: There is far more value in an accurate body fat % reading IMHO.
Tells you way more than a BMI classification.
14 Jan 2013, 16:01 pm
@Mr Black-23878: dunno
I reckon ‘I_love_u_bakkiesbotha’ is double faking a lot of people
& that’s not an easy thing to do…
