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.

    Who knows Nortie…..compared to the other Nz sides, this Blues team is at the bottom of the pecking order, but they do have some game breakers if they can hold on to the ball.

    magnificent special for Biff on TV as a prelude to the crickey.

    fitting tribute for the great man.

    I like the look of the Highlanders this year.
    My dark horse for 2013
    I admire Blackadder though, his talisman is on sabbatical, he lost an AB wing in Zack, but no complaints or excuses from him. Just get on with things, similar to his playing days

    @gunther-27653: I believe that he has the highest batting average of any captain (during the tenure of his captaincy) than any (long running) Captain of the modern game.

    A class act.

    I am mouth-swirling (& eventually swallowing) neat Angostura Bitters this morn (to numb a throbbing tooth ache) – it normally works
    This bottle (a mid sized one = 200ml) kept in my liquor cabinet at the office is from way back, & still priced R8.98 :-)

    Highlanders have a very strong squad and if John Hardie and Sapoaga stay healthy this year, yeah they could surprise.

    Will be going out later, and will have a look around to see if I can spot one, not even sure which brand makes it.
    Stormers and Bulls and Sharks are easy, Adidas, Puma or Mr. Price Sport carry those.

    @stormersboy-27656:

    indeed.

    most players tend to experience a dip in form when they take the reigns.

    Biff thrives on it.

    Sorry Gunther…no I didn’t…. when they came back in retro form they looked awesome….back in the day we actually played some good one day cricket in them. Those were the days when at the SCG, the crowd would be chanting Hadlee is a W anker, marvellous memories the beige strip

    @nortierd-27678: Jip.Only because their depth hasn’t been able to stand up to the rigours of the tournie. They have made the best off season buys…..clever stuff from JJ.

    I reckon they actually have the replacements to see it through……. One thing to worry about for them once more though: discipline. THE Brad will be huge for them.

    Congrats on your 100th test as captain Graeme Smith.

    Not many players can boast averaging around 50 throughout their career and as an opening batsman, it is unheard off. Throw in captaining the side for most of your career and you get a picture of who and what Graeme Smith is.

    A great man and a great cricketer.

    Here’s to a 100 more.

    A Gauteng boy who wasn’t wanted by them. WP (Eric Simons) came to his rescue and the rest is history.

    A Capey through and through as a cricketer, is Graeme.

    Interesting to see what happens. Woud have liked to have seen a 7ft stringbean ‘discovered’ in the nets running in on this wicket…
