New Zealand's coach Dave Rennie has once again chosen Ruben Love over Beauden Barrett at flyhalf for the upcoming Test against Ireland.
In a bold move, Barrett, a 144-Test veteran, is part of a select few in the New Zealand squad yet to feature this year, as Rennie opts to persist with creating a pairing of Love and fullback Damian McKenzie as playmakers.
The team has introduced strategic changes in both the forwards and backline, with emphasis on continuity and performance.
The match against Ireland promises to be a challenging encounter, with both teams aiming to maintain their winning streaks in the Nations Championship series.
