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.

It’s possibly not fair…and it’s possibly not right…..but arrogance =ling success, is akin to sociopaths being some of the most successfulfuckers in the world: business, sport, politics etc etc.
Without a few ‘less desirable’ traits, most of the world’s best would be nothing but average.
Tis the way it is IMHO.

@TooMuchRugby-27762: I don’t doubt for one minute that Hashim has a touch of arrogance below the surface. He possibly uses it only when required…..
The fact that he is a competitor, elite athlete and one of the best in the business, means he defo had something more than the solitary ‘self belief’ that 1000000000000000000′s of other ‘good’ (but now selling printers, because they couldn’t make the big leagues…)cricketers had…..
Just my view. Certainly not forcing folk to buy into it.

@TooMuchRugby-27767: Calling someone arrogant shouldn’t actually be an insult IMHO.
Being called a braggart with serious delusions of grandeur is an insult (often confused with arrogance…once more IMHO)

@Dawn-27771:
He’s trying to be kontroversial.
He’ll be hitting us with his google latin and t-shirt slogans next in an effort to appear clever.
