TOKYO (Reuters) - 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.

The video, which mimics an Air New Zealand pre-flight safety briefing and was released on the airline's Twitter feed https://twitter.com/FlyAirNZ, advises fans of Joe Schmidt's team, who have won two of their last three matches against the All Blacks, that they can expect "some upcoming turbulence" at Tokyo Stadium on Saturday.
