Steve Hansen perplexed about 'bizarre' charge against All Blacks security consultant

New Zealand head coach Steve Hansen has described the decision to charge a man who worked for the All Blacks as a security consultant with public mischief as "unbelievable".

New South Wales Police have issued the charge after a bug was planted in the team room of New Zealand's hotel in the build-up to their 42-8 Rugby Championship match in Sydney on August 20.
