The New Zealand shearing team touring Britain is in winning form after its initial run of losses.

After being beaten by England, the United Kingdom and Scotland in the first three tests of the tour, New Zealand shearing champion Rowland Smith and Dion King have bounced back with four test wins in eight days, in England and Wales.

The third test against Wales is at the three-day Royal Welsh Show. The tour ends at the Corwen Shears in North East Wales on Saturday.
