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.

Well done Charlie.
It’s not the winning that counts.
It’s the taking part.

naw fark.. i just looked out of the office window over the grey sea and Charles sneaked in after being alerted by the head prefect. Life is not fair.
@ gunther:
Mrs cane doesn’t approve of that either.
@ robzim:
Indeed.
If you want the same treatment you’ll need to get put early and warm Norties throne for him.

@ robzim:
That’s the way to hook a tighthead Rob – without even trying to !
