Bledisloe I (All Blacks team room bugged)
-
This isn't Rooty Hill RSL where they are staying, I'm sure there have been many commercially sensitive meetings held there in the past month. Perhaps it is left over from that.<br><br>
The fact they were suspicious after RWC, brought the equipment this time and then found it this time though is very suspicious. No idea why they contacted the ARU should've gone straight to the AFP. -

"We're going for the element of surprise this week boys - it's grubber kicks all day and Richie's coming back!"</p></blockquote>
<br>
Maybe they did, and got the story held until today for more theatre... -

<p>if only that were that simple...</p> -

<p>If Winger were a better troll he should be saying the Canes coach should be AB coach. Hell, everytime a super rugby side wins, just make that super rugby coach the AB coach. It isn't like international rugby is different to super rugby and that combinitions can't gel into expert reliable combos overnight. Oh no. In fact, make Winger coach of the ABs<span style="font-size:8px;">. That would solve all the current problems and make far larger and more spectacular new ones...</span></p>

<p>Do Hansen & co even talk to Super Rugby coaches about All Black selections? Why would they have any input other than updating Hansen about a players physical and mental fitness at the time selection decisions have to be made?</p>

<p>perhaps that's how Ofa became an AB.....Shag had too many meetings with ultra-optimistic Sir JK</p> -
Stuff just leaked a transcript of the phone call between Boyd and Hanson.<br><br>
" hello Steve? Chris Boyd here"<br>
" gday well done on the rugby title mate "<br>
" cheers, I wanting to have a word with you about the number of canes players in the team "<br>
"Is that right?"<br>
" yeah considering the final placing a of the teams (realises he can hear dial tone) ......, um Steve you still there...,,,,?" <br>
( sound of resigned sigh )<br>
Phone call ends. -
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
<p>Australian Rugby Union (ARU) boss Bill Pulver told the Herald the organisation was alerted to the discovery by Tew this morning - and the two rugby bodies have handed the matter to police.<br><br>
Pulver immediately cleared the ARU from any involvement or knowledge whatsoever.<br><br>
"Look, I have literally just seen a note from Steve Tew telling me about this and a brief statement they [New Zealand Rugby] are about to put out which confirms that they found a listening device and the two unions have agreed to hand the matter over to the police," Pulver said.<br><br>
"Mate, of course [the ARU is not involved]. It is completely ludicrous. I just think it's a ludicrous concept that there are listening devices being placed in team rooms. I don't know how that could happen."</p>

<p>A careful search of the Sydney Daily Mirror archives has unearthed a photo of this bloke, who stayed at the Intercontinental just a few months ago.</p>

<p>maybe it was Chris Boyd to find out if they were even talking about the Hurricanes?</p> -

<p>You're right - my wider investigations have found the answer here, on this very thread:</p>

<p>I'm 99% sure it's got nothing to do with the Wallabies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cheika gave a presser this week about how he refuses to ask Mick Byrne about AB moves/secrets. Would be funny if at the same time he was bugging AB team meetings...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe that was the hidden meaning of the presser- he didn't even need to ask Byrne, he already knew!</p> -

<p>Well you would be! ;)</p>

<p>I feel for you Aussie fans, even if you win this one it will always be tainted and have a little asterisk next to it. </p>
