Jonah Lomu leaves unsuspecting punters in a Dublin pub baffled

FEATURING FORMER NEW Zealand and Ireland wingers Jonah Lomu and Shane Horgan, Heineken have produced a cracker of an advertisement to mark their sponsorship of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

Filmed at Harry Byrne’s bar in Clontarf, the ad sees punters testing their rugby knowledge on a quiz vending machine in an effort to win a ball signed by Lomu.

But what they don’t know is that the All Blacks legend is hiding inside, until Horgan arrives to take over: “Jonah, your shift’s over.”

A rare occasion when Irish rugby fans were actually happy to see Jonah Lomu in Dublin…

    Total bull. Everyone clearly knew he was there. You can tell that by the suspicious lack of camera phones snapping him as he leaves

    Exactly, I saw that Amy schumer Glen Hansard one last week. Everyone there looking at their phones videoing it. They may aswell have just been watching a video on their phone. Put the phone away and enjoy what’s in front of you
