Andrew Hore
OK, a special for the Ex-Voldy bloggers… we will keep this Hore Thread ALIVE for a while.. so go ahead, get your records!!
Former All Blacks hooker Andrew Hore has answered an S.O.S. to come out of retirement and provide injury cover for Southland.
The loss of veteran hooker Jason Rutledge has left the Stags with problems in the middle of their front row.
That saw skipper Jamie Mackintosh put a call in to his mate Hore to twist his arm to help out in Invercargill.
Rugby Heaven
And it seems to have worked. The Stags have confirmed Hore is training with their squad, but will only get involved in match play if one of their two remaining hookers gets injured.
Hore retired from top rugby last year after 83 tests for the All Blacks, though he has played matches for the British Barbarians and a World XV this year against international sides.
Hore’s previous NPC play has been with Taranaki and Otago.
The Stags have gotten off to a good start in this year’s NPC, with wins over Bay of Plenty and North Harbour.
They host neighbours Otago on Saturday.

Fark, looks like ALL the Sharks Bokke, bar Marcell Coetzee, are farked, crocked, moertoe!
Beast, Bissie, Doc Jannie, Willem Alberts…. all moertoe verby!
332 @ grootblousmile:
As predicted in round 5 of SR!, I bet if Fransie was contracted he would also be injured on a fishing trip to Clarens next weekend!

The thread is up.
Poor Akkers, another last minute surprise
333 @ MacroBok:
Next thing we’ll see is that Shampoo Poodle, breaks in training as well, I suppose!
Be afraid. Be very afraid
We have a new loskakel
334 @ nortierd:
Why are you telling me… does it need fixin?
@ IAAS:
“Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer said that although Juan Smith was on standby, the player requested more time to work on his match fitness.
Erken Juan daarmee dat jy nie so fiks hoef te wees in die NH nie?”
Ek het dan netnou op eNuus gesien dat Juan in Toulon se span ingesluit is vir Saterdag se wedstryd.
@ grootblousmile:
Go for it

Farkit fellas, our Rugby-Talk.com stats & figures look good for August, with tonight PLUS 3 more days to go in August, we have already passed last month’s figures… so we might make it the biggest month in Rugby-Talk.com’s history!!
@ MacroBok:
Cape Town – Springbok flank Juan Smith is likely to feature for Toulon in the French Top 14 this weekend.
The defending champions travel to Paris to face Racing Metro in the Top 14 on Saturday.
They included Smith in their 24-man squad named on Thursday.
Smith returned to the Test fold for the first time since 2010 when he started for the Boks against Argentina in Salta last weekend.
However, it was not Smith’s best ever performance and he was replaced by Marcell Coetzee early in the second half as the Boks sneaked a 33-31 win.
He was on Monday also left out of the Bok squad for the Australasian leg of the Rugby Championship as Willem Alberts was recalled. He remains on standby for the Boks should there be any injuries in the next fortnight.
@ grootblousmile:
Good to hear
Congrats
@ Nama:
lol wat? ons praat altyd van ouens wat nie wedstryd fiks is na n lang breuk nie of aan die begin van n seisoen… Selfde geld seker vir Juan?
Dalk kan hy nie meer by die spoed van Internationale rugby bly nie…
maar dit is heel moontlik dat hy nie wedstryd fiks is nie omdat jy 3 maande laas gespeel het.
I went to the 2d, 3d, and 4th Oppiekoppie. That is almost 20 years ago.
With only 8 Months of the year gone, Rugby-Talk.com’s already had more Page Impression CLICKS in 2014 than in the whole of 2013… by quite some distance!!

@ MacroBok:
Francois Louw, Bakkies, Habana…?
Dis a goeie total
3 mil plus
Nice
@ Nama:
Well, bakkies speel so 50minute, Flo het ook maar begin stil raak aand die einde…
Was die nie n moerse storie gewees toe Eben weer fiks was nie?
mense wou he hy moes eers vir WP spel om weer “wedstrydfiks” te wees.
354 @ Atlas:
Dit is flokken ongelooflik goed!
Dit beteken ons gaan in die hele 2014 seker hier naby 4.875 miljoen Page Impressions hê vir die kalenderjaar!!
Ek is bly vir jou
Julle vedien dit
Na harde werk sal ek jou n bier koop
Ek sou n smiley face bysit maar ek sukkel met my foon
En ek is bly om die advertensies op die site te sien
Coolers
@ MacroBok:
Absoluut. Dit sou die regte ding gewees het om te doen. Sou ook wou gesien het dat Etzebeth die naweek vir WP gespeel het om sy fiksheid op te skerp. Hy kon nog steeds Sondagaand gevlieg het.
