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.

    Eleventh car gets stuck on flooded Seaview Road
    04 September 2012
    Yoliswa Sobuwa

    NELSON Mandela Bay’s flooded Seaview Road claimed its 11th victim when Newton Park resident Charlene Blanford’s car became stuck in the stagnant floodwaters.

    Her ordeal came a day after regional rugby boss Cheeky Watson’s expensive BMW was engulfed by the flooded area after he tried to drive through the lake which has formed over the road after record winter rains.

    City officials have warned motorists not to try to cross the flooded area, as it is deeper than most realise.

    Also, mysteriously, the warning signs posted at either end of the flooded area on the road disappear from time to time, only to be found in the bushes nearby.

    This has given rise to speculation that unscrupulous tow-truck drivers lay in wait for unknowing drivers – not seeing any warning signs – to become stranded.

    About R5-million is needed to level the road, but authorities have said there is no budget for it at this stage.

    Blanford said she had not seen any warning signs before she hit the water and her car was submerged.

    “I did not think the water was that deep. I was surprised when my car’s engine just cut out and the car was filled with water,” she said.

    The big problem is the disappearing warning signs, Ward 1 councillor Stanford Slabbert said.

    “The water in that area is about 3m deep and it cannot be pumped anywhere. We have tried to get different kinds of warning signs up, but they keep disappearing.

    “Motorists by now should know that the Seaview Road is flooded and there is no quick fix to that problem,” he said.

    Henry Steyns, who works for a civil engineering company contracted by the provincial government to do road maintenance, said they kept replacing the warning signs.

    @i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-25163: There was no better example than during the serious flooding in the UK some years back. Folk had been threatened, warned and ordered in some cases, to not even attempt a 2km drive….

    But noooooooooooooooo, dumfatfucksonttopoftheirUNOs floating by the 10000′s.

    In fact, I have an image of this lunacy filed under ‘when you need a laugh’. The woman was a behemoth, weighing in at at approx 300 kg’s, plonked on the roof of a red UNO, with the water rising rapidly and horror of horrors, she was swearing at the authorities from where her fatbuttcheeks rested because they weren’t ‘saving her’ at that stage……

    @bakkies: that was in September last year when we had floods, they put up “Road Closed” signs when it is dangerous to cross but they didn’t have them when tried to ride through…

    the photo of burly Cheeky mimicking Hercules & trying to push his SUV out of over waist-height water was frontpage & got different responses from residents.. :D

    On the upside, Cheeky’s close call has helped set the vehicle protocol for the Kings’ top brass. They all must have 1Rmil SUVs with sunroofs. Can’t risk their lives trying to secure sponsors.

    While we’re on the Hore’s thread, check out this swinging arm by a Racing Metro’s Fabrice Estebanez on Saracen’s David Strettle. Very simliar to the Hore’s punch. Will be watching his disciplinary hearing and ban very carefuly.

    Any normal human being would have hit reverse when seeing how deep the water was getting. Seems he will do whatever even to the detriment of others.
