NEW ZEALAND's rugby union team believe Australia have bugged their hotel ahead of today's Bledisloe Cup clash in Sydney.

The All Blacks sensationally claim a "sophisticated" listening device was found on Monday, but police want to know why it has taken until Saturday for them to report it.

states that the device was discovered when security staff carried out routine checks at the team's InterContinental Hotel in Double Bay.

The report claims foam in a chair appeared to have been deliberately cut for the listening bug to be planted and then sewn or glued back together in the hope it would be undetectable.

NZ Rugby chief executive Steve Tew: "There was an All Blacks team meeting there earlier in the week.

"If the device was working properly, and we don't know that for sure, then they would have overheard that.
