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.

@I am a stormer-26898:
yeah bud…
it really was a squeaker…
we very nearly contrived to throw it away… but credit to the guys for finally winning a game…
but the big winners are the black caps…
if victory is sweet… redemption in the eyes of their public must be a pretty good feeling to take home…

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career.
I’ve lost almost 300 games.
26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed.

The kiwis are always a better limited overs team – they have much more success there.
The real test is just that – where the real manne play.
Looking forward to the pakkis.

Gold medals aren’t really made of gold.
They’re made of sweat, determination,

These are my new shoes.
They’re good shoes.
They won’t make you rich like me,
they won’t make you rebound like me,
they definitely won’t make you handsome like me.
They’ll only make you have shoes like me.
That’s it.

We have some injury issues… no excuses…. we’ll see what happens….
quote:
Wilhelm Steenkamp has been ruled out for between four and six weeks.
Vodacom Bulls lock Wilhelm Steenkamp will miss the opening weeks of the 2013 season due to a shoulder injury, it was announced on Tuesday.
Steenkamp will see a specialist on an AC tear and will be out of action for between four and six weeks.
According to Vodacom Bulls team doctor Org Strauss, a number of players are suffering from injuries that could prevent them from playing in the side’s first friendly of the season, against the MTN Lions on February 2nd, in Orlando Stadium.
Zane Kirchner (back, two weeks), Dewald Potgieter (back, two weeks) and Werner Kruger (back spasm, two weeks) will be in the swimming pool instead of the training pitch for the next two weeks.
This follows the injury to Dean Greyling last week, with a stress fracture to his foot ruling out the prop for at least four more weeks. To add to their woes, prop Frik Kirsten is suffering from migraine and will only see limited action this week, while wider training group prop Basil Short injured his AC joint and will be out for two weeks.
Springbok touring squad member Arno Botha has another week to go before he can take to the field following a groin operation, but national teammates Chiliboy Ralepelle and Jacques Potgieter is back in training.
Former Junior Boks Tony Jantjies (groin, two weeks) and Wiaan Liebenberg (hamstring, one week) will return to squad soon.
