Aer Lingus crew to wear All-Blacks jerseys after losing #AirlineChallenge with Air New Zealand

Ireland's clash with New Zealand yesterday was one the year's most anticipated games.

The rematch had Irish fans dreaming of beating the All-Blacks twice on the bounce but for the national airlines of both countries, the stakes were higher.

Some pre-match posturing saw Aer Lingus and Air New Zealand end up placing a wager on social media.
