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.

    What was Botha thinking, agreeing with the scores thinking it was in his favor.

    this was a 12 round fight, what happened?

    typical….

    Botha moered him nicely in the end, he probably would have gone down in the next two.

    Pity Botha wasn’t the Lions Super rugby side’s captain.
    Would have loved to hear his honest losing speech every week.
    Every ref and call would be bullsh1t and then he’d wind up the EllisPark faithful into a frenzy, all 7 of them.

    @gunther-28371: Yes. Also the scorecard. 97-91. Add back the 2 deducted points and you have 8 rounds to SBW and 2 to Botha. I’m not a Botha fan but I think he did better than that.

    Remember this is a guy that Corrie Saunders used to batter around the ring with monotonous regularity. I think he beat him something like 4 times.

    He still should have fought a cleverer fight. But ja. All credit to SBW for doing his bit, he certainly made the tactic work.

    @nortierd-28370:
    @RL-28372:
    he was dirty though, forced Botha to react to the hold/pinning.
    also the way he was allowed to hit Botha a few time while the ref was seperating them and Botha’s guard was dropped. towards the end Botha did the same in frustration.

    @Hurricane-28373:

    huh?

    its was promo’d as a 12 round fight.

    @Atlas-28375:
    absofarkinglutely!
    he fought cheap and low for most of the fight and hung on desperately at the end.
    Botha moered him nicely in those last two rounds. another two and that would have been the end of Sonny’s boxing career.

    @cane-28377:
    you missed Sonny doing the same earlier, a relation of yours?
    he was dirty and low, Cane
    and he almost saw his moer at the end.
    the last few minutes were a larf.

    Armstrong tops the American most disgraceful list.The South African list would probably look like this:

    3.Geo Cronje

    5.Spies (refusal to tackle)
