THE Wallabies have laughed off claims from All Blacks assistant coach Steve Hansen that they had spies at a New Zealand training session in Brisbane last week.

Hansen accused the Wallabies of using footage from Channel Seven to learn All Blacks secrets, after a camera crew was kicked out of the training session held at the Brisbane Broncos' training ground on Thursday.

Hansen said he knew the television crew had "definitely filmed one session and then gave it to Australia … and it's disappointing that Australia actually used it".

"We know they did use it because they told us," Hansen said. "One of their personnel told us after the game. It's hard enough to win games without oppositions knowing what you are going to do, before you do it.

"I suppose the disappointing thing is next time we're here, it is going to be difficult to watch us train. And we know it's happened before. We saw them [Channel Seven] there on the day, and they were told to go, but we did not realise they were doing it. If they've done it once, they've done it more times."

Channel Seven showed on its 6pm news that night the crew being told to leave by an All Blacks security guard, after it had filmed the session from behind trees.

A Wallabies team spokesman said Hansen was mistaken. "The accusations are completely without foundation. We did not receive anything from Channel Seven," the spokesman said.

Some of Hansen's comments are typical of the All Blacks' paranoia, as this team takes delight in keeping people away from the training sessions, regularly employing security guards.

In contrast, all Wallabies training sessions this year have been open to the public.
