Ireland claimed a historic victory against the All Blacks in Chicago two weeks ago and now all eyes are turning to Saturday’s rematch in the Aviva Stadium.

The visitors are out for revenge, while Joe Schmidt’s men want to prove it wasn’t a one-off win - the stakes are high.

And as anticipation builds, Aer Lingus and Air New Zealand are getting in the competitive spirit.

It started with a few cheeky digs …

Hey there @AerLingus! Time for the @AllBlacks vs @IrishRugby, round 2. Not sure how long your lucky shamrock will last! ☘ #AirlineChallenge — Air New Zealand✈️ (@FlyAirNZ) November 16, 2016

Kia ora, @FlyAirNZ! Chicago had nothing to do with luck and everything to do with good prep! We’re ready! #AirlineChallenge — Aer Lingus (@AerLingus) November 16, 2016

… and some boarding-pass banter …

...escalated to the in-flight magazines …

.@FlyAirNZ We’ve done you a favour and designed a cover for your in-flight magazine – to be used if we win, of course! 😘 #AirlineChallenge pic.twitter.com/HFyYKLzSrT — Aer Lingus (@AerLingus) November 17, 2016

… and has now gone as far as landscaping airports.

We know all about gardening, @AerLingus. Perhaps we can do some at @DublinAirport if we win? #AirlineChallenge pic.twitter.com/yoiyrs3wce — Air New Zealand✈️ (@FlyAirNZ) November 17, 2016

Maybe everyone needs to take a timeout and cool down.

If this is the banter between airlines, just imagine the intensity on the field.

Saturday’s game is going to be epic.
