nzherald.co.nz

New Zealand's David Buick and Jack Fagan won the first test of a shearing series against Wales at the Waimarino Shears. They defeated Gethin Lewis and Llyr Jones by 6.388 points. This victory marks a turnaround for Buick and Fagan, who lost to the same Welsh pair last July. The Kiwis are now favored to win the next tests in Waitomo Caves and Te Kūiti. The event took place in Raetihi, a small town in central North Island, with a local population of around 1,000. The series continues next Saturday and later in March.
