On a Saturday morning in Wellington, Ireland steps onto the Sky Stadium pitch carrying the weight of 111 years and the lightness of recent belief. A nation that once measured progress against New Zealand in single victories now stands one match away from a series win — a result that would reframe not just a tour, but a generation's relationship with the game's most storied opponent. The third and final Test is less a rugby match than a reckoning with history, and with what Ireland has quietly become.
