From Morning Report, 6:48 am on 8 July 2019

New Zealand has won the Wool Handling title at the World Shearing and Woolhandling Championships in France.

Teams from around the world, including New Zealand, were competing this week in wool handling, machine and blade shearing.

Labour MP Kiritapu Allan is in Europe to take part in the Inter Parliamentary Cricket World Cup in London, which coincides with the other Cricket World Cup - the one with Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor.

This weekend she's been Le Dorat in Western France, cheering on our shearers and wool handlers. She talks to Philippa Tolley.
