That was just after he casually mentioned they'd lost 4 in a row, wasn't it?

This is pretty mad:
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/ar ... d=11697828
The Crims deny involvement.
A sophisticated listening device was discovered in the All Blacks' team room in their hotel ahead of tonight's test against the Wallabies.
The device - the sort used by law enforcement and spying agencies - had been planted in a chair in the Sydney hotel where the team have been staying since Sunday, the Herald has learned.
Australian police have been alerted and the hotel has launched its own investigation.
A New Zealand Police spokeswoman said it was referring all inquiries about the incident to Australian authorities.
The Herald understands the foam of the seat appeared to have been deliberately and carefully cut to make way for the surveillance device and then sewn or glued back together to be almost undetectable.
It was discovered on Monday after team management asked the security detail looking after them in Australia to sweep the room for bugs.

Considering their ancestry, are we surprised?

The listening chair will at least raise the profile of rugby in Ozland. Did the event have to start with the Olympics not yet over?

Thought Australia started pretty well but now find themselves a try down

Coles gave that pass awfully early. Those ribs still hurting him?

Offside line disappears at a charge down, doesn't it?

Cheika can sit in on the ABs meeting from now on. Won't make a difference. They're shit.

Maybe we mislead the Wallabies with some false tactics while they were listening in at the hotel?

Wonderful half of rugby from the All Blacks. Fierce defence, great linespeed, fantastic handling and running, lineout steals, a tighthead - the full book. Been a while since we've seen a Bledisloe this utterly one sided.

Yep. I think we can safely say that the Hurricanes were indeed testing a new defensive pattern for the All Blacks.

Bit of a scrappy start to the second half.
