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.

Black Caps in with a realistic chance. SA bowlers will have to be on the money!

Well he needs something to keep him going late at night. He might just reach for another, i mean, you can’t walk out of a movie half way through.

For the poor in Belise, Brazil and Borneo it is survival.
For the middle-class in Beaufort West, Brisbane and Boston it is a cause.
For the filthy rich in Rio, Riyardh and Rotterdam it is money.
If they don’t make it…………………someone else will.

SA sav blanc……………………………. Whale Point. ………………………….$6.99 at Countdown.
I think that’s like 10,000,000 Rhand or something.

The rest of the cricket games against the keewees should be cancelled.
They are pathetic,a waste of time and money and just exploiting our hospitality.
19 Jan 2013, 13:56 pm
@cane-25856:
About R50?
Sounds like you’re celebrating.

No matter how much you pay for our wine caner,you are investing in the sa economy.
Thanks boetie!
Wine from Waiheke Island to dear for you?

@gunther-25859:
Checkers “Odd Bins” is the wine to buy.
Bought their version of “Chocolate Block” for a quarter of the price and it tasted the same:-)
Just read the desrciption on the label.
19 Jan 2013, 14:00 pm
@Cane….ja, I do unfortunately get what you are saying.
19 Jan 2013, 14:01 pm
@Fern-25860:
Only two bit Tourists that have been to Waiheke Island drink that stuff.

armstrong nearly gave some all blacks a run for their money as far as cheating is concerned.

Not a wine wolf,just saw the vineyards.

Even the Chinese know they cannot live in a World in which they cannot see the sky……………………………………………….. for too long.

@Fern-25861: Fern one should always remember the specific bin number to ensure that you can buy it again (or not).
You get some great wines for a bargain! It’s simply a case of surplus wines from good estates. IMO Checkers made a good decision to launch the Odd Bins range way back
19 Jan 2013, 14:07 pm
@CharlesM-25867:
They have a great range of cheese aswell.
Woman laugh when they see the bottle for the first time untill they have a taste.

Glad she is well and has such great parents and support.

Many, have tried and all have failed. There is just no arguing with common sense and righteousness
19 Jan 2013, 14:10 pm
@Fern-25865:
No…………………………………..I prove only that SA makes very good CHEAP wine.
Actually……………………………… EXCELLENT cheap wine.
Best wine in the world……………………………….is there such a thing.
Not really……………………………….it’s all prejudice, snobbery, local taste and tradition.

@nortierd-25869: Thanks Nortie, I wasn’t asking for sympathy but tried to converse with Rye about his previous experiences in hospitals.
I then told more than I perhaps should have
19 Jan 2013, 14:14 pm
@cane-25871:
Chocolate Block back then was R200 a bottle
Diemersfontein had a similar wine for R95
I bought the Odd Bins one for R38
You guys do not get our cheap wine.
Our cheap wine are sold in “papsakke”.
Ask Dawn.
19 Jan 2013, 14:14 pm
@CharlesM-25840: do we really need to know this info?ffs,this is not facebook!
19 Jan 2013, 14:14 pm
@cane-25871:
No best wine in the world??? You’ve obviously never tried a cheeky wee Namaqualand doos. Available in both 2 and 5 litres for convenience.
19 Jan 2013, 14:15 pm
@Fern-25868: Some wine snobs tend to do that as well
19 Jan 2013, 14:15 pm
@CharlesM-25872:
Been there done that,someone will sadly use that info against you.
Good luck for the road ahead.

Where self important nazi’s try and dictate to others?
Gotcha.
19 Jan 2013, 14:17 pm
Hahahaha ABieber de Villiers strikes.
Ohfuck.
209 starting to look a bit further away.
19 Jan 2013, 14:17 pm
@JockBok-25875:
I have heard you get about 3 fights on a 2lt.
19 Jan 2013, 14:18 pm
@gunther-25859:
Ooooops Our Best One Day batsman just got run out.
fcku
19 Jan 2013, 14:19 pm
How much does a 2 and 5lt papsak cost?
Just to give Caner a idea please.
19 Jan 2013, 14:19 pm
@Fern-25882:
Ahh, you’re talking about the red blend. Rule of thumb is one fight per litre, but that red blend has a wicked nose on it.
19 Jan 2013, 14:21 pm
@JockBok-25885:
Indeed.
I run my lawn mower on it.
19 Jan 2013, 14:21 pm
@cane-25871: I tasted some NZ red wine during the holiday but can’t remember the name. It didn’t impress me but that doesn’t mean that other NZ wines don’t taste well. I’ll therefore not generalise.
Locally I’ve tated numerous wines: some excellent but others awful – but if you don’t try new wines you’ll never know.
A friend always says: “The best wine is the wine in your glass”. Bottom line – if you like a specific wine, enjoy it even if others don’t agree!
19 Jan 2013, 14:21 pm
@JockBok-25875:
Was it available in Chad…………………………………………………..simply being available does help.
19 Jan 2013, 14:22 pm
@Fern-25884:
I’d imagine about R10 a litre for the cheap boxes…..errr, so I’ve heard. Do they still sell papsak on it’s own though?
My local bottle store has got classy kinda plastic bottles.
19 Jan 2013, 14:23 pm
@CharlesM-25872:
We know, but amidst the banter and sometimes more nasty comments it good to sometimes take a step back and realize that everyone here has real life situations that is much more important than the outcome of a rugby match etc.
19 Jan 2013, 14:24 pm
Lopsy strikes!
19 Jan 2013, 14:24 pm
@Fern-25877: Thanks Fern, as you can see somebody has already done it
19 Jan 2013, 14:25 pm
@JockBok-25889:
R10/lt is about right.
You still see the “blinksak” in bottlestores.
I have seen Gordonia in the plastic bottles aswell.
So Cane is not enjoying a cheap SA wine as he thinks.
19 Jan 2013, 14:25 pm
@CharlesM-25887:
NZ is not known for Our Reds.
That is an Australian forte.
Our coupe de grace are our whites. In particular sav blanc, pinot gris and chardonay.
19 Jan 2013, 14:26 pm
@cane-25888:
Unfortunately not. It was all French muck in Chad at extortionate prices. Luckily here in Senegal we have a nice range of Senegalese whites/reds and a cheeky wee rose at a not too shabby price of about R30 a bottle. (R25 if you know the owner) Okay, it’s imported in barrels from France and bottled locally, but it helps to keep the price down and the locals seem to appreciate it as some of them buy an awful lot of bottles.

@nortierd-25890: Thanks Nortie! – appreciate it!

@Fern-25893:
What about Virginia ‘the wine for me who enjoy being men’?
I’d imagine that would go quite well with seafood. Well the last guy I saw drinking it was lying outside the Plumstead Fishery…..
19 Jan 2013, 14:29 pm
Cane, Sauv Blanc is my favourite white wine!
19 Jan 2013, 14:30 pm
@JockBok-25897:
Hahahaha!
Portugal is part of the PIIGS,what hurt them further is the popularity of the new wine corks not
made of cork as that was a major export market for them.
It doesn’t rain,it pours.
19 Jan 2013, 14:31 pm
@cane-25894:
Don’t be modest.
You make some very decent Pinot hours.
