In the shadow of a historic opportunity, Andy Farrell sends a fresh Ireland XV into Wellington's Sky Stadium to face the Maori All Blacks — not merely for revenge after a 32-17 defeat, but to deepen the roots of a squad that may be on the cusp of something Ireland has never achieved in New Zealand. The midweek fixture becomes less a game than a reckoning: a chance for those on the margins to prove they belong, and for a coaching staff to trust that preparation, not preservation, is the path to history.
