The Wallabies coach Robbie Deans says he's not noticed any extra hostility towards his side from New Zealand fans during the Rugby World Cup.

The Australian media has suggested that Australian fans are getting a particularly hard time from the locals, while the team and their first five Quade Cooper in particular is regularly getting booed.

Deans says he's not noticed any extra vitriol, but he'd be surprised if his side didn't get a bit of stick.
