Bledisloe I (All Blacks team room bugged)

The thing that's pissing me off the most about all this is
I have to keep looking at Dagg put that ball down with one hand. Better players than you have cocked that up son. Two fucking hands aye?

Remember that time it happened to Cully? that was a Bled test wasn't it?
Or is my aged memory failing me again?

@Crucial it definitely happened to Cully, but I remember it as a Canes game in NSW?

Yep, I think you may be right. Possibly even the same game Lomu was Red Carded (two YCs. Late tackle and deliberate knock on)?

Google confirms.
v Waratahs, Sydney 2002.
But not the Lomu RC game. That was 2000 and was a spear tackle on Nathan Grey followed by a deliberate knock on

A spear tackle on Nathan Grey should be rewarded not punished

I was nearly going to say that as well. IIRC it was a funny one. Would probably get a RC instantly now but it was a case of Grey being completely manhandled by the bigger Lomu. There was no apparent intention to spear just what would now be deemed a lack of care taken to bring him to ground safely.

I'm not ruling out incompetent NSW cops just yet.
Hypothetically..
They've come up with nothing. Have decided to go after the easiest target, the bloke who found it. Who happens to be a Kiwi (bonus). It will get dismissed at court and the cops can then just chuck their hands in the air and say "well bugger me I dunno, we tried our best". -

I have a tendency to agree with Gregor Paul.
The Aussies (Pulver and Krusty) and their sycophantic media are really making arses of themselves over this.
I don't think anyone really thought it was the Wobs - although there was a large part of me that really really REALLY wanted it to be - but jeez how to keep digging a hole.
I'd love for Tew to get on the blower (or send an email that gets "leaked" to the media) telling Pulver to pull his head in.

One of my favourite journos is Paul Cully, and I think he makes a few good points here. Though I think the whole thing is a bit overblown.

@barbarian he does? That article is very long on "if you think, really really hard, then just maybe, you could possibly find some way to justify feeling aggrieved about this". The victim mentality in Aus rugby has come pouring out over the last couple of days. If ever there was a team and an organisation that needed a good year on the field it's you guys, get some fucking pride and spine back.

@mariner4life I think the article is fine, is just needs a new title - like nobody wins in the bugging case.

@mariner4life Did anyone in Aus really feel THAT aggrieved about it though?
It got a lot of media attention, but most fans I know were far more aggrieved about being towelled up in Bledisloe 1 than the bugging thing.
As I said, Cully's points are valid and maybe Aussie fans could feel slightly aggrieved, but I don't think anyone actually does.
The story was a distraction, a joke, and I don't think many fans wasted much energy worrying about it.
The ARU, on the other hand, overdid it a bit.
