Hore gets slap on wrist
28 Nov 2012
All Blacks hooker Andrew Hore has been given a five-week ban for striking Wales lock Bradley Davies with his arm, three of which will be pre-season.
Hore was found guilty of foul play on Wednesday and will not be able to play again until 24 February. He will miss New Zealand’s Test against England this Saturday, three weeks of pre-season and one round of Super Rugby.
The All Blacks have already called up Hika Elliot (who had been touring with the NZ Maori) to provide hooker cover.
Judicial officer Lorne Crerar of Scotland revealed that Hore’s eight-week ban had been reduced to five as the player had shown remorse and been in contact with Davies daily since the incident.

@Heavens Game-344: Must be honest…Cant give you any Green and Gold in return though… Threw all 4 out on Sunday… Excluding the one burnt at approx 7pm Saturday night also…
Do have some Black and White ones though in lieu… Including maybe a genuine one available from the past when the Dynamite were still known as the Banana Boys…

@Heavens Game-348: Pffft, wow you truly are losing your touch. Whats the matter, being found out as poltergeist got you a bit panicky?
Not even worth my time. You are dismissed.
And dont let me catch you logging in here as poltergeist again.

@poppa69-345: thanks for the welcome Pops …not usually a poster as i cant afford therapy when people call me names. Glad to see Keo is as full of lunatics as our blimmin Sports Talkback …. rugby tragics everywhere…

No wonder he’s fascinated with so-called brokebacks.

@texasnz-356: Don’t pet that one too much. He’s got fleas and will hump your thigh.

@poppa69-352: Poppa, I must be brutally honest here and say that IMHO a lot of the grief directed at the AB’s is because of this very success.
Tallest trees and all that….
Anyways, just my 2 cents.
As I said on another thread earlier, if someone can connect the dots for me and show me how the AB’S had any influence on: the Boks drawing to Argentina, the Boks losing to Scotland a few years back, and Meyer not replacing Morne Steyn when he was flyingwiththefuckingfairies in Dunedin, I might buy into some of the dope being peddled round here.

@katman-358: ha ha ha. Got a rhodesian ridgeback here at home… not bad… bit aggressive and not too bright, but blindly loyal…
29 Nov 2012, 12:44 pm
@katman-358:
Katgirl I just rewatched Horegate, are you trying to tell me Hore deliberately kneed the Taff after he’d clipped him? Open your eyes son.
29 Nov 2012, 12:45 pm
HeavensGame is poltergiest.

that’s Heaven’s Game you are talking about?

@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-359: all good, I realise there are some like yourself with their eyes wide open, dont ever change by the way..
dont you know it was the ref in the non AB games youve highlighted

@the authority-355: Simply put… No…
Now, tell the world how it feels…
Gap or not… You are Cape Town’s Pride, yeah?

Well, what do you expect, they were bred to hunt Lions, after all?

You know that video you wanted Bakkies to make for you tube about the cheating ABs?….. i believe after your post here production has just sped up.
29 Nov 2012, 12:51 pm
@NZINCHINA-362: Absolutely, 100% deliberate. I’ve watched the angle from behind many times now, and there is no doubt at all. Why else would he drop to this knees a meter before the ruck, and just happen to find the Taff’s head right where his knee lands? Disgusting assault.
29 Nov 2012, 12:51 pm
@WP-Forever-357: Confusion reigns… Gappy brokebacks in blue and white stripes do not equate to passable kathoeys… Dont believe me? Ask Grunter then…
Many a mistake has been made in Bangkok and Manila no matter how many manne swear otherwise…
Its why many a true word spoken in song:
“One night in Bangkok, makes a hard man humble”…

@texasnz-361: Lion killers are Ridgies. Incredible dogs. Brilliant running partners as well, if you build up their endurance levels.
@gunther-365: HG hasn’t been neutered.

@texasnz-372:
lol
Tex, tread carefully.

@Hurricane-369: All Bakkies has to do is provide me with a CSI worthy link between the Boks fuckups over the years in the following departments: coaching, player management, skills, politics, development etc and NZ rugby’s ‘hand in these fuckups’ and I will believe
Hell, I will print t-shirts.

Brilliant!
You are one sharp pencil.

“”It is not the All Black way and I have let myself down and the team and probably the whole country that is pretty proud of what we do,” he told the New Zealand Herald.” – Hore
Ummm… it seems it IS the All Black way.
The team probably had a good chuckle about it. The coach certainly hasnt apologised.
Your countrymen have been defending it (on this site)
29 Nov 2012, 21:07 pm
f***ing disgraceful.
Nuff said.

BTW, Congratulations to Habana for try of the year. Well deserved. The b’stard.

Defending it?
Post the thread link or STFU

@katman-370:
I am impressed.
I only have 5 senses at my disposal to get a grasp of what is reality.
You have another sense called mind reading.
Do you take your gift enhancements with water or dry swallow?
30 Nov 2012, 09:17 am
See we have a new poster on here today. Welcome to the blog of a rseholes, idiots, mind readers, politicians, d!ickheads, egotistical old fa rts………….. and thats just ET!!
Welcome Texas.

It was roid rage.
He got leniency for those years of having needles stuck in him.
Too many pricks in the Hore
30 Nov 2012, 10:31 am
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-359: Ditto…..the AB’s are a great side and they deserve their success, we are all a passionate lot and of course we would love our boks to be where the AB’s are. That said I do think in terms of this thread the AB’s somehow get a lot more leniency than us in terms of citings, disciplinaries etc……strange.
30 Nov 2012, 10:32 am
@NZINCHINA-362: Morning China…..while I am not sure the knee was deliberate (arguments for both) the forearm was a wee bit more than a “clipping”
30 Nov 2012, 11:50 am
@Skeppie-391:
Skep yip not a good look but to suggest like Katgirl who has watched it over 200 times and still got it wrong that the knees were deliberate is just plain wrong, he’s been punished we can move on now beat the Poms and go unbeaten in a season for the first time since 97′ which would make it very very special season.
30 Nov 2012, 11:56 am
@Skeppie-390: @NZINCHINA-392:
Everyone is on the HEFTY BAN Thread of earlier in the week.
Apparently if anyone posts on any other thread,
they will be hunted down and killed.
see you over there.
30 Nov 2012, 12:32 pm
Cheers Caner.
30 Nov 2012, 13:51 pm
CAne,
good kiwi media did not try to find excuses for Hore actions.

@KWAGGA ROBERTSE-388: thanks very much for the welcome, Kwagga. It took me a while to take the plunge …. I have a therapist on retainer.
I prefer to read and remind myself that while rugby is only a game, its the game we love.
Bracing myself for sitting in a pub full of englishmen this evening in Bangkok to watch the game at tickers, tallyho ol’ chum…
what on earth happened to the Blitzboks?… i will head over to the other thread soon…
1 Dec 2012, 05:45 am
@texasnz-396: twickers…. i see Richie has confessed today that the english are the team he hates to lose to the most… he might be in good company?
