Bledisloe I (All Blacks team room bugged)
-
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>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> -

<p>Nah - you've been watching too much Lieutenant John McClane (and Liam Messam in Taken :fishing: ) peering, as they do, at the offending device to find that, without question, it was held in the storeroom at CIA Office No 352 and marked out on May 6.</p>

<p>Yes, this incident has made this fact abundantly clear. :lol:</p> -

<p>Evidence right there is was Cheika. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Every nation has a few defining characteristics and behaviors. Poms like warm beer. Irish like any beer so long as there is plenty of it. The French love snails, cheese and surrendering. The Germans like invading Poland. Canadians are polite. USAians are nutjobs. Kiwis are god's gift to the world. Aussies are all dodgy criminal types. Stands to reason it was Cheika, the ARU and Bonocock all in cahoots.</p> -

<p>We'll soon know if that theory is correct, Bono is the weak link. His conscience will get the better of him and he'll make a public apology ... at 9:30pm though.</p> -
Ok , going forward when and how often can we bring this up to embarrass the Aussies? So far I'm thinking before every test match between us and again if we happen to lose . Also if they ever try and take the moral high ground over us on anything dodgy we've done . Anything I've missed ?<br><br>
Probably a good idea to lay on the sarcasm every time they deny it too for example "Yes Barbarian we totally believe your overrated coach on a four match losing streak wouldn't resort to anything so pathetically desperate . Totally believe it mate". -
