MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The revelation that police had charged a security consultant hired by the All Blacks in the 'spygate' saga was viewed dimly in Australia on Wednesday, with local media queuing up to demand New Zealand apologise over the affair. State media later identified the man as Adrian Gard, who had consulted for the All Blacks for a decade as well as arranging security for former U.S. President Bill Clinton and other celebrities. "So rather than the Wallabies cheating by attempting to bug the All Blacks, the Kiwis got an unfair advantage by unsettling the Australians. "Far from it being anyone in the Australian camp, as was darkly insinuated in the Kiwi rugby community, the true culprit." The All Blacks thrashed the Wallabies in Sydney after reporting the bug and swept them 3-0 for the season.
