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.

@cane-27100:
Now that cane, is false condescending crape. And you know it.
Trying to be modest……………………..it just doesn’t fit.
Try that shiit elsewhere. But here, we can see straight through you.

Hello….Cane, you punting on the Hurricanes this year to make playoffs at least?
27 Jan 2013, 11:26 am
@Jeraldjay-27103:
Murray deserves a BIG one.
But lets face it,
he never be the crowd favourite.

@Te Rangatira-27106:
Top six………………………………..maybe.
We will be really hitting our straps in 2014.
Best NZ Team to be remain the Chiefs.
With Highlanders again punching above their weight.
Dave Rene and Jamie (the thug) Joseph, with good Seasons this year could soon be on the All Black coaching panel.
Crusaders always there or thereabouts.
Blues……………………………….sorry Rangi, I think they will take some time. JK is a nice Guy, this will be his making or breaking as a Coach. Lets hope it’s the making.
As Buck said, “Coaching Japan and Italy is Coaching for Battles,………………………………….. Coaching in Super Rugby is Coaching a Campaign”.
Then again…………………………JK can only really improve things. Blues cannot do any worse surely.

So stone me for trying to be friendly.

@cane-27109:
If ol Snakey can continue his habit of scoring last minute tin-arrse trys and the young forwards discontinue their early season form from last year of going backwards…is that turbo reversing….and maintain the late season form that that helped them take the Crusaders scalp, along with Perenara coming off the injury list? and that speed machine you have at openside in Savea…yes…maybe a top six
Blues just need that pick me up called confidence…a trot of early season wins…from there…who knows?
27 Jan 2013, 11:54 am
Oooooh,
A s s ………………………is a censored word it seems.
What has the humble donkey ever done to deserve this.
27 Jan 2013, 12:02 pm
@Te Rangatira-27114:
Exactly Rangi………………………….Who knows.
They say, when Auckland Rugby is strong, NZ will be fine.
I think NZ Teams will do well this year.
Perenara ………………………….how good do you have to be,
to be an All Black.
NZ currently have more depth at 10 and 15, than I have ever seen.
27 Jan 2013, 12:06 pm
Murray takes the 1st set.
27 Jan 2013, 12:08 pm
@cane-27117:
And just missed a great chance to go 2-0 up in second. He might regret it- the longer the match comtinues the stronger Djokovich will become.
27 Jan 2013, 12:14 pm
@cane-27116:
Perenara….if he goes like last year, will have Ab stamped on his back.
Yes…time for Auckland Rugby to wake from its slumber for the good of Nz, that in itself was a good reason for the letting go of Patrick who seemed to have his caring eye fixed firmly on Apia.
The depth at ten throughout the Franchises is amazing….for sure. If the Blues can get that Baden Kerr up and going early, could add his name to quite a long list of very good first fives.
If Charles Piutau plays full back for the Blues theres another who can wreak havoc from the back….

Love………………………………..ain’t it grand.
Hope they keep their hooves trimmed.

@cane-27115:
you can blame it on the sensitive cape town keomedia and supporters.
they are happy to call other provinces players funny names but the minute you give one of their own a funny name, they ban it.
a donkey by any other name, plays just as ‘sweet’.
27 Jan 2013, 13:06 pm
are you sober cane?
27 Jan 2013, 13:09 pm
@cane-27115: Never mind the humble donkey, try mentioning the cheerful donkey here. G@y @sses are not welcome on keo.

and in perhaps some of the most significant news for South Africa in decades…
Struggle heavyweight Mamphela Ramphele is preparing to enter politics and is expected to make an announcement about it soon.
She’s got my vote already… just show me where to put my x…!!
Time for all intelligent, honest, hard-working and positive South African’s of all colours, persuasions, religions, provinces, social and economic standing to get off our behinds and get behind Mamphela.
good good stuff…!
27 Jan 2013, 17:07 pm
@ufo-27132:
tell me why?
i’m a little ignorant (is that the right word?)
i mean i dont know enough about her to understand this supposed significance.
27 Jan 2013, 17:27 pm
she is a heavyweight politically and her credibility can’t be questioned from any sides…
she is the widow/partner of steve biko, was the head of the world bank and chancellor of UCT among many other respected top positions…
she is a human being of absolute integrity and, I believe, non-racial in her views and beliefs, she is a person who does the right thing and will jack up the civil service and deliver services, housing, education and such to the deserving but neglected masses to offer dignity and a better quality of life which has been largely ignored by both parties until elections come along and everybody talks without delivering…
and she will tackle corruption and make South Africa an attractive option once again for investment…
she has the clout to offer relevant and effective opposition to the ANC… and the background to ensure the people are not ignored and the corporate and financial nous to steer the country in the correct direction business-wise.
of course that is an extremely brief and broad take on her… things are never that neat and simple and are always more complex… but she will be the first person since 1994 who is able to offer a credible, realistic alternative to the ANC who will be able to attract support from South Africans of all colours and backgrounds…
she is the type of person we’ve all been waiting/praying/hoping for…
27 Jan 2013, 17:30 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-27133:
that was just off the top of my head…
of course you could google/wiki her for more depth and detail…
27 Jan 2013, 17:33 pm
@ufo-27135: hey UFO, just tell bakkies she has some kiwi ancestry and he will spend the rest of the day finding out all the dirt he can…
27 Jan 2013, 17:35 pm
@ufo-27134:
ok thanks, sounds good.
will she be organising a new political party?
27 Jan 2013, 17:36 pm
@the curse-27136:
good day to you too, Pops.
27 Jan 2013, 17:39 pm
@ufo-27134: Hi bud are you well? I haven’t been around lately – I’ve read some articles and made a post or two. I’ve been quite busy with my son’s varsity enrolment the past week. He’ll leave tomorrow (finally) on a more permanent basis to Stellenbosch. He attended 2 practices of the Varsity Cup U/20 squad during last week and was…… let’s just say extremely tired (putting it mildly).
Yesterday he played trials for the private res’ “first years’ tournament” and was more than just tired. I think he has never “worked” harder on a rugby field than the previous 4 days.
I agree with you 100% re dr M R: a highly intelligent lady who needs to get involved in politics ASAP !! I have the utmost respect for her !
27 Jan 2013, 17:40 pm
@the curse-27136: Hi Pops, no she’s from “pure African descent”
27 Jan 2013, 17:41 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-27137: Nope, I think she is going to join an opposition party
27 Jan 2013, 17:41 pm
@the curse-27136:
hey popps… how’re you doing bud…?
ms ramphele is the kind of person who has no dirt on her… no matter how long and deep you dig…
she will certainly bring back a sense of dignity and statesmanship to south african politics than has diminished greatly with the retirement of the anc old-guard…
but of course i shouldn’t preempt anything… and must wait for her to make her announcement and tell us all what she intends to do…
but very excited…
over the festive season several of us spoke about mamphela and several like her saying IF ONLY they got into active politics…
so this really is good news for us…
27 Jan 2013, 17:43 pm
@ufo-27142: Imagine her being the president and prof Jansen the minister of Education !
27 Jan 2013, 17:44 pm
I’ve just come online but will have to go out for a while – daughter’s orders !
27 Jan 2013, 17:45 pm
popps, i see on my living earth app that it’s quarter to 3 am in sydney…?
so hope all’s well on the night shift…
27 Jan 2013, 17:46 pm
@CharlesM-27140: kia ora boet
@ufo-27142: hope she turns out to be the politician you guys need mate…
27 Jan 2013, 17:47 pm
@the curse-27146: Absolutely !!
27 Jan 2013, 17:47 pm
@CharlesM-27141:
good.
the DA will probably be a bridge too far so if its Cope i hope she’ll be able to clean it up. they started off with a bang but then went down hill rather quickly.
27 Jan 2013, 17:48 pm
@ufo-27145: alls good, day off, am watching my team being knocked out of the FA cup (spurs)..
rotating shifts means I sleep at strange times… quite like being awake late at night/early morning, the world has a beautiful silence at this time imo
27 Jan 2013, 17:49 pm
@CharlesM-27143:
hi charles… yeah… they’re cut from the same cloth and the kind of people we desperately need to ascend to leadership roles in south africa…
President Ramphele has a nice ring to it…
i hope she goes all the way with this and forms a new party….
i’m pretty darn excited by this news…!!
