Wallabies coach Michael Cheika is not expecting an apology from the New Zealand Rugby Union for claims that the Wallabies were behind the bugging of the All Blacks' hotel room in Sydney last year.
Cheika said he was surprised to hear an All Blacks security consultant was charged over the discovery of a listening device hidden in the foam of a chair in a meeting room at the Intercontinental Hotel.
Adrian Gard, a 51‑year‑old who has been employed by the NZRU on their trips to Australia for the last decade, will face court on March 21 after being charged with public nuisance following a six‑month police investigation.
The scandal only came to light on the morning of the second Bledisloe Cup Test, which New Zealand won 42‑8 ‑ despite the device being discovered by the NZRU at the beginning of the week.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has described the charge as bizarre and hard to understand.
