Airlines weigh in on Rugby World Cup action

The Newsroom

Available for over a year

Australia and New Zealand are preparing to face off in Saturday's Rugby World Cup final, and the two countries' airlines have taken the challenge to Twitter. Using the hashtag '#AirlineWager', Air New Zealand tweeted Qantas to suggest they redecorate their planes in the New Zealand All Black colours if they win, and Qantas responded in kind. Eventually, the two airlines - which sponsor the countries' respective teams - settled upon a more practical bet. We got a Kiwi and an Australian to read out the tweets Photo credit: Air NZ/Qantas
