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.

> Wilhelm Steenkamp has been ruled out for between four and six weeks.
Goed so, Willemse kan net beter wees
Ken jy vir Grant Hatting, is hy ‘n goeie speler?
25 Jan 2013, 23:43 pm

@ufo-26945:
It’s a process. And I believe in Gary Kirsten. The Proteas are a team in transition – with Boucher having gone. And Kallis basically concentrating on test cricket. That is why he is bringing in the youngsters so you feel less of a void when you get mass retirements that the Aussies have experienced.
And I see Paddy Upton has got the Head Coach job of the Rajastan Royals – he is one of Gary’s trusted confidantes when they worked with India. Gary wants his lieutenants to grow. That to me is true man-management.

Saffas?
Pommies?
Argies?

@shooter-26955:
for sure…
and we’re not going to be able to go to sleep against them or they will destroy us…
they’re already going to be sniffing blood in the water…
25 Jan 2013, 23:44 pm
I’m hoping for at least a bronze tonight.
25 Jan 2013, 23:45 pm
@Finfan-26961:
Finishing third
Having a threesome?
25 Jan 2013, 23:45 pm
@victoriabok-26953: Hahaha. hopefully its a full blown klap out of anger
25 Jan 2013, 23:46 pm
@Te Rangatira-26957: You NZ’ers know nothing about cricket.
25 Jan 2013, 23:46 pm
@shooter-26963:
Die hoop beskaam
Pastoor Spuitnaald sal net kwaad word as hulle sy Muti wegvat
25 Jan 2013, 23:46 pm
@victoriabok-26956: nee, ken ongelukkig nie vir Hattingh.
25 Jan 2013, 23:47 pm
@shooter-26966:
Hy’s blykbaar vir die Leeus en WP gespeel
‘n Loosie
25 Jan 2013, 23:48 pm
@I am a stormer-26958:
yeah… i’m a big fan of gary’s…
but think we should have focused on winning this series before we spoke of resting players for the pakistan series…
heard kepler saying similar things today and can only agree with him…
but lots of guys… who all deserve it… are getting game time… so when injured guys like jp get back we’re gonna have awesome depth…
but i do worry that we dont actually know our best 11 in the shorter version of the game…
25 Jan 2013, 23:48 pm
@Finfan-26961: With five people in the race, third place would be a disgrace. I’m hoping for a slighty better position. And you?
25 Jan 2013, 23:48 pm
Haha ….correct
25 Jan 2013, 23:49 pm
@Te Rangatira-26957:
hey ranga…
congrats to your guys for taking the series…
hope they get a good reception at home…

Ek is nog realisties vir die Bulle die jaar. Definitief top 6…. miskien ‘n verrassing.
Tussen Slaptjip en Matfield gebeur daar dalk ‘n aanvalsplan
25 Jan 2013, 23:50 pm
@Te Rangatira-26970: You do know a little about rugby though. Don’t feel too bad.
25 Jan 2013, 23:50 pm
@victoriabok-26967:
Saw him in the Varsity cup where he played no. 8 for Maties. Very tall but more of a loosie than a lock imo. And he didn’t play for the WP senior side – represented the Lions.
25 Jan 2013, 23:51 pm
word of caution….dont post too fast…. duplicate comments will be detected
25 Jan 2013, 23:51 pm
This is going to be a very slow time. A tactical race rather.
25 Jan 2013, 23:52 pm
@shooter-26976:
Just check #26,001.
25 Jan 2013, 23:52 pm
@shooter-26973:
Victor sal die verskil maak, hulle sal fiks wees en gefokus bly
As jy na laasjaar kyk sal jy sien die span het anders gespeel het vir die eerste paar wedstryde toe HM nog daar was
Daarna het hulle rondgeval en toe teruggeval op Morne se swak skopwerk
25 Jan 2013, 23:53 pm
@ufo-26968: gary won the WC ODI with India… of course we know….
but the plan was never to lose the series,,, but fine…. some guys got their time in now….
if ever they learned something, they should’ve learned it against this team we beat 2-love in six days in 2 tests
25 Jan 2013, 23:53 pm
@I am a stormer-26975:
Thanks, didn’t know him, remembered the name though
25 Jan 2013, 23:53 pm
@victoriabok-26979: Speel Victor weer?
25 Jan 2013, 23:53 pm
@shooter-26973:
your guys will be in it…
not being disrespectful to the nz’ers or aussies…. but really think there’ll be 3 saffa teams in the playoffs again…
we did last year… and the sharks and stormers are looking better than last year… and bulls young guys from the CC are gonna upset a lot of sides… and then morne’s boot will do it’s magic…
25 Jan 2013, 23:53 pm
@Ufo…who won?
25 Jan 2013, 23:54 pm
@Finfan-26982:
Nee, hy rig die Bulls af
25 Jan 2013, 23:54 pm
@shooter-26980:
yeah… for sure…
25 Jan 2013, 23:54 pm
@ufo-26983:
And 10 easy points from the Kings will help as well
25 Jan 2013, 23:54 pm
@ufo-26983: Meyer can only improve so the Boks will be better this year.
25 Jan 2013, 23:55 pm
@victoriabok-26979: Ja, they say there may be a few changes – to gameplan, maybe alot more of the same, with one or two tweaks… something vague…. maybe the start of something even more exciting
25 Jan 2013, 23:55 pm
@victoriabok-26985: Nee, wat van Ludicke?
25 Jan 2013, 23:55 pm
@Te Rangatira-26984:
we won the game on the last ball…

25 Jan 2013, 23:55 pm
