Brisbane - All Blacks rugby coach Steve Hansen has attacked Australian rugby for "stealing" New Zealand players and says the Bledisloe Cup rival should improve depth by developing its own talent.

Hansen spoke after his team's 18-18 draw with the Wallabies in Brisbane on Saturday in which New Zealand-born centre Mike Harris kicked five penalties for Australia.

Hansen says he doesn't begrudge Harris' decision to sign for Queensland when he was rejected by New Zealand Super 15 franchises or to later play for Australia.
