Bledisloe I (All Blacks team room bugged)
-
Surely bugging the all blacks is far more important than Vlad!

<p>Hotel bugged! So there was a conspiracy!!! Just not the provincial bias one by the looks</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>Clearly the ABs have better security professional than Russia.</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> -
If it wasn't for us you would suspect the owner of the bug have taken it back to avoid being exposed

<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>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> -

<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> -
Pockock did it. <br><br>
In his quest to make the world a better place he was listening for homophobic comments. And he'd have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids. -
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>Has anybody seen Scott Johnson recently? ;)</p>

<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>Just sayin'</p> -
Who's the Chris that hansen referred to?

Cruden to come on and tear it up. Fekitoa to have a blazing game, Crotty to prove he belongs. Hames and Savea to come on and make a blunder or two.

Of course. Thanks Boo

Happy to take credit ... but I think you're mixing your silver fern avatars ... -
It's funny how I've gone the whole week pretending I didn't give a shit about this game due to the Canes and Olympics. But, now those butterflies have gone nuts in my guts. I kind of wish I didn't care so much. Yeah we're back-to-back RWC champions, but that won't mean shit if the Wallabies win tonight.<br><br>
Reckon the boys will have to dig deep tonight. Tipping the Wallabies unfortunately. -
<p>Watching the channel 10 commentary you'd believe there is only one team playing the game.</p>

I believe so, I went to a function recently and the welcome to country went for near 15 minutes. Not sure she understood the brief part. -

I think it is great they have begun doing this the past few games. -
<p>So with this arrow head haka thing, I get that Read is in front, but why can't we have our two most mean looking fuckers as two and three right behind him? Kaino, yup, excellent on the mean lookingness, but Dagg?</p>

Smallest crowd I have seen for this fixture in a long time.

Australia unfazed by Kapa O Pango. Almost as if they knew they were getting it instead of Ka Mate.
