[QUOTE="Zed, post: 540560, member: 38503"] That's a really silly thing to say. Hitting someone to the head/neck from behind and hospitialising them is an incredibly extreme reaction to being obstructed. You shouldn't say "There's no place in rugby for what Hore did but also no place in rugby for obstruction." This would have been a more sensible thing to say - "There's no place in rugby for what Hore did". What is disappointing is how some Kiwi supporters are reacting. Their responses are condemning of Hore, however there is a always a 'but'. There is no but, there is no justification, any illegal hits on Richie McCaw are completely irrelevant etc etc etc take of your black cap for a second, his nationality is of no relevance. If this was a Wallaby I would be highly critical of him and would be hoping he would get a decent ban. We don't need dickheads in this sport that have no control over their emotions and act like thugs. Perhaps the media in the UK have been a bit extreme regarding this incident, but the attitude of some of the Kiwi supporters is pretty disappointing. I get you're trying to stand up for your team/nationality etc but you're going about it the wrong way. Hore ****ed up, period. trying to throw a 'but' into the equation essentially implies you are supporting him. [/QUOTE]
