rooster59 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Listening device found in NZ team room, police notified SYDNEY (AP) — New Zealand Rugby says a listening device has been found in a room used for team meetings ahead of its Rugby Championships test against Australia and the matter has been referred to Australian police. In a statement issued Saturday, New Zealand Rugby confirmed media reports which said a device similar to that used by law enforcement and spy agencies was found secreted in a chair in the All Blacks' team room which was being used for sensitive tactical and planning discussions ahead of Saturday's test against Australia. NZR chief executive Steve Tew said "we are taking the issue very seriously and, given it will be a police matter, it would not be prudent to go into further details." The hotel has also launched an investigation. The New Zealand Herald said the foam of a seat appeared to have been deliberately and carefully cut away to make room for the surveillance device which was almost undetectable. It said the placement of the device was "a highly skilled and meticulous act." The All Blacks suspected their team rooms were bugged during last year's Rugby World Cup in England but did not have the equipment necessary to detect listening devices. In Sydney the team used high level equipment to detect surveillance devices but the discovery was not made until an important team meeting had already been held. -- © Associated Press 2016-08-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexlowe Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 If the Aussies win the first test, there'll be finger-pointing of a scale that will spark fact-finding missions by Thai police to Australia. But they won't win - of course. C'mon Aussie, c'mon, c'mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbastheycome Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Is it true that all Aussie sports teams are compelled to memorize the sheep shagger song of Waltzing Matilda and practice underarm bowling..even members of the male synchronized underwater ballet team? Something to do with collecting funding from the Aust. Sporty Club. Or is that the Aust. Sporty Closet? I have watched Aussie Rules football and so am convinced anything is possible dears!

Strewth are the Wallabies so dumb now they've gotta pinch chat up lines from the Kiwis? Still, the Aussie performance on the pitch showed how much they learned - like the blank expressions of Moore and Hooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
