Will Swanton writes in the Sun-Herald that John Buchanan has given a strong indication that leaking documents about Australia’s plans for opposition teams has been a successful mind-game during his reign as coach.
"Let's not dwell on that too much because it might be something we do again," Buchanan said when asked whether sensitive material that had been leaked, most recently in Adelaide, England and New Zealand, had all been accidents. "It can be good to get certain thoughts out there - and there are various ways that can be done."
Buchanan goes on to say that lamenting Australia's lack of real competition achieved the desired result despite the consecutive series losses that followed: it exposed Australia's weaknesses before the World Cup.
