That Prime delivery though...
An Amazon support member trying to help a subscriber on Twitter on Saturday inadvertently created a frenzy on social media when it appeared to "deliver a United Ireland".

Chris Jones was tweeting to the AmazonHelp account on Saturday as he was having difficulty getting access to the rugby. After troubleshooting a number of issues, the account believed it had discovered the source of the issue.
The game was only available to users in the United Kingdom.
