Let's hope the match is half as intense as this.

Aer Lingus and Air New Zealand are going back and forth on Twitter ahead of the Irish rugby team's game against the All Blacks on Saturday. The New Zealand Twitter page started this cyber war, but it wasn't long before the lads at Aer Lingus shot back, and it only escalated from there. https://twitter.com/FlyAirNZ/status/798981847380131840 https://twitter.com/AerLingus/status/798983036205465601 https://twitter.com/FlyAirNZ/status/798997819214266368 https://twitter.com/AerLingus/status/799004272126021640 https://twitter.com/AerLingus/status/799275160226463744 https://twitter.com/FlyAirNZ/status/799340999482871808 https://twitter.com/AerLingus/status/799384279549640704 https://twitter.com/FlyAirNZ/status/799401393685569536 Aer Lingus have even gone as far as to suggest a wager, based on the result of the game. New Zealand have happily obliged. https://twitter.com/AerLingus/status/799516745652387841 https://twitter.com/FlyAirNZ/status/799518565024067584 If this savage animosity between the two airline Twitter pages is anything to go by, the match is sure to be a cracker. Let's hope we see a plane full of flight crew in Irish gear this at some stage this weekend.
