Punters at Harry Byrnes got more than they bargained for when All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu cropped up in their local, hidden in a vending machine.

The all-time leading tryscorer in Rugby World Cup history was taking part in Heineken's ‘It’s Your Call’ campaign which will allow rugby fans the chance to be present for the pre-match coin toss at this Autumn's World Cup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYyJQYxAVU4 Lomu wedged himself into a cramped vending machine and offered up personalised prizes for those at the pub before former Ireland winger showed his face, telling Lomu that his shift was over. One guest said: "Everything was perfectly normal until people started receiving personalised merchandise from Jonah Lomu. A few people in the pub began questioning whether he was in fact in the building, but we all still got a huge surprise when Shane Horgan walked over and let him out of the box. He’s a big man, I’ve no idea how he fitted into it!" Want the opportunity to win some unique Heineken experiences during Rugby World Cup 2015? Visit www.heineken.ie to find out how. It’s Your Call.
