South African boss Jacques Nienaber has questioned why any side should need to spy on another and declared that there is more than enough information available through legitimate means.

It was reported earlier this week that one Tier One nation had asked World Rugby for clarification about sanctions for any teams found to be spying on other sides and that there was reason to believe that this has happened in recent years.
