New Zealand Rugby says a Sydney hotel room where the All Blacks held meetings was bugged before their first Bledisloe Cup match against Australia.
The New Zealand Herald reported that a "sophisticated" listening device found on Monday had been hidden in a chair...
The paper reported that hiding the bug "was a highly skilled and meticulous act and whoever put it there would have needed a significant amount of time to have pulled off such an accomplished job".
Indications are that the device was working and would have transmitted conversations about the All Blacks' strategy for Saturday's match. more
The Herald understands the foam of the seat appeared to have been deliberately and carefully cut to make way for the device and then sewn or glued back together to be almost undetectable. more
