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.
Where there is movement there is life.
And where there is life, there is hope.
@ BrumbiesBoy:
ETA in Perth around 19:00 local time on Saturday.
@ cane:
I shall assist for the next 2 and a half hours, and then . . . I’m off to have a few drinks! Wonder if it’ll hit 000 any time soon?
@ BrumbiesBoy:
7.
@ GoBokkeAndIreland:
The 1000 may be a milestone too far.
But the 800 is looming large.
😉
I’m not even going to go for it.
I’m saving myself for THE BIG ONE.
There are so many Saffas in Perth I believe the match programmes are available in all 11 official languages as well.
@ BrumbiesBoy:
Are you going to Perth BB?
@ BrumbiesBoy:
😉
We’re everywhere!
785 @ cane:
AM?
Question #4 is also irrelevant to you Okes.
So I’ll need to think of another one.
Standby.
I think I’ll make this one R-T themed.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
@ BrumbiesBoy:
Cool.
Enjoy yourself.
Should be fabulous encounter.
@ cane:
Wish I could but duty calls!
@ GoBokkeAndIreland:
True
Right, who’s lurking?
Question #4.
What Company does grootblousmile detest the most, is it:
a) His local Power/Energy supplier.
b) His local Municipal Authority.
c) His Internet Provider.
Come on, out you come!
Yawn
@ cane:
It’s a tie between a & b methinks
Escom!
Hahahaha
Oh no, not again!
@ cane:
That’s a trick question!!! The answer is – D – ALL of the above!
@ grootblousmile:
Come on GBS! Go with my answer! Or does your ISP only bug you when it’s webpage subscription renewal time?
😉
So Groot gets onto the Roll of Honour.
😉
Lurker.
804 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
My ISP is not a problem at all… the Rugby-Talk web hosts… well they are another story, but we handle them!
@ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Is Escom an ISP ?
I would have gone for his Power/Energy provider myself.
805 @ cane:
Farkit, I did not even lurk, I had just finished the Spring Day article on R-T, decided to quickliy look into what you lot were up to and BOOOOM, I bliksemmed Hore on the head!!
800 @ grootblousmile:
Blerrie agent!
@ grootblousmile:
Ah ha – you see, I don’t know the difference! All i know is, someone pissed you off at some stage.
Anyway . . . Cane – no new question yet?
