VIDEO: Rugby legend Jonah Lomu brilliantly pranks unsuspecting punters in Dublin pub

Two legends having a laugh

JOE

The big man clearly has a big sense of humour too.

New Zealand legend and all-round nice guy, Jonah Lomu, was in Dublin recently in his role as an official Heineken ambassador to help launch the ‘It’s Your Call’ Rugby World Cup 2015 campaign.

While in our fair city, he took a trip out to Harry Byrne’s and played a trick on some unsuspecting customers.

These punters thought they were simply getting a preview of the new exciting ‘It’s Your Call’ game, so you can imagine their surprise when one of the greatest rugby players ever emerges from within a ‘normal’ vending-machine.

Former Ireland winger Shane Horgan even got in on the act.

Check out the reactions in the video below.

Heineken’s exciting ‘It’s Your Call’ campaign gives rugby fans the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be at the pre-match coin toss at an Ireland match during the tournament this autumn, right next to the team captains, moments before they do battle.

All Irish rugby fans have to do to be in with a chance of winning one of these world-class prizes is enjoy a Heineken at participating pubs and off-licences. Here, they are given a coin with a code on it.

They simply use the code to play an online coin-flip game where they could win one of thousands of pieces of official merchandise, or it could lead them all the way to the coin-toss at an Ireland game at Rugby World Cup 2015.
