'A deal is a deal': Aer Lingus crew don All Blacks jerseys after losing rugby bet to Air NZ

The crew of Aer Lingus has swallowed its pride and donned All Blacks tops after losing a bet to Air New Zealand. The two airlines made a public pact before yesterday's Ireland v New Zealand rematch in Dublin - betting that the losing nation's national carrier would wear the winning side's rugby jersey. It came after a back-and-forth between the two airlines' Twitter accounts ahead of the big game, which saw Ireland lose 9-21 on home turf at Dublin's Aviva Stadium.The airlines sparred over Twitter, throwing out some interesting proposals - from boarding passes and in-flight magazine covers, to airport revamps. They finally settled on a cabin crew uniform change if their side lost. Monday Aer Lingus posted a short video of Air New Zealand crew handing over All Blacks tops for them to wear. The four crew members in the video smile and hold them up - however forced the smiles appear. But the airline said it all when it posted: "A deal is a deal."<br/>
