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.

    ‘Cause I’m lonely
    I feel so lonely
    I need your body by my side
    To get me through these endless nights
    I’m lonely
    I feel so lonely
    There’s no one in this world for me but you

    Alright
    Yeah
    Pull ’em up

    So get a grip quick, drop a gear, we progress and express
    We’re coming fresh
    The appliance of the science
    We getting strong, oh yes
    And we’re dressed for success

    The HG hall of shame…
    Anything but that, please.
    That would mean I have to fall in love with the Sharks and (spit spit) the French rugby side.
    We know he loves both of them, I even suspect he even likes the Frogs more than the Boks, but he denied that. However, a denial by him doesn’t carry much weight.
    Maybe it’s a Sharks thing, other Shark supporters here also like the poodles and think they can play.
    Well, they can play, but one lucky game every couple of years doesn’t make a good team, and one fluke try every 10 games doesn’t equate to flair.
    The AB’s score 4 tries a match of higher quality, but no one ever says, look at that Kiwi flair.
    Must be a Shark thing, probably because a couple of Frenchies pitched up at Durban and became instant heroes in the eyes of the Guppies

    I have proof, posts 997-999, don’t know where Gunther disappeared to while I was paving the road to glory for him.
    My arms ached from throwing all those rose petals to smooth the path, waiting in agony for him to break the ribbon while crossing the line.
    Sometimes the pace setter gets lucky, who knew? πŸ˜€

    O yea of little faith….I’m currently sitting here plucking roses as we speak.
    My current stock I used on Gunther today (although it was a bit of a waste to be honest, he fell asleep like Mr. Bean in the movie Rat Race just before the finish line) so I need to replenish my stock

    @ gunther:

    I’m keen to see how the deputy head talks his way out of this one.

    He’ll be turning round and around in circles and all of a sudden land up with his head up his own arse.

    IAAS, I have found out why Gunther got distracted by the rose petals. I will accept your apology for all those dreadful accusations in threefold (3 drinks next time we meet up that is πŸ˜‰ )
