<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> </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>They are having a lend - these things only ever come with either a Dick Smith or a JB Hi-Fi sticker plus "Made in China".</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". -

<p>Where was Winger last year when the Highlanders won the Super title and only had Ben Smith and Aaron Smith starting in the RWC final for the ABs?</p>
<p>if memory serves me right, the Hurricanes had 5 players start in that RWC final. Surely the Highlanders deserved more players than the Hurricanes?</p> -

This was surely intended for us. Probably a job for Suzie's aussie cousin Kim -

<p>Maybe, in Winger's world, Hansen is only looking at tape a year old. Forget about this modern stuff, he's doing it all on a 12 month delay!</p> -
In all seriousness though, who would actually do this? Is there really enough motivation for betting agencies? Anyone more important than the all blacks would have their own security to find the device and from at least one article I read the device was still actively running. Surely though I can't see the aru stooping to those levels. Maybe a rogue assistant coach? Will be interesting what the police find, again according to articles it was a very sophisticated setup.

<p>Don't forget Dan Crowley was a Australian Rugby Player, and undercover cop.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All Blacks room bugged.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Coincidence? Any Rugby Union that can keep an undercover cops secret identity....er....secret would find bugging the opposition's secret team strategy room a piece of cake.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just sayin'</p>
