TOKYO - New Zealand's national airline has poked fun at Irish fans with a mock pre-match"safety tips" video ahead of the All Blacks' Rugby World Cup quarter-final with Ireland.

They are then told to fasten their seat belts ahead of the All Blacks' pre-match haka, or traditional challenge,"so they don't flee too early", while handheld electronic devices should be stored in pockets, so as to avoid being thrown at a screen. "Should those tries repeat, make your way to your nearest exit," the video continues, with Irish fans shown fleeing for open doors and windows.

The video ends with the two flight attendants stating they looked forward to seeing"all our shamrock-loving friends again, in four more years", referring to the next World Cup in France.Ahead of the 1999 Rugby World Cup, the airline, which has a long-standing relationship with New Zealand Rugby, painted the livery of the plane taking the team to the tournament in Britain with a picture of their front row.
