They're in the middle of playing five tests in successive weekends, tackling Ireland in Dublin tomorrow morning before ending with matches against France and Italy.

Invercargill rider Josh Burnett has kept his overall advantage on the Tour of Southland with two stages remaining.

The 2022 champion has a one minute and 41 second advantage over fellow Kiwi Matthew Wilson after stage six - won by Australian debutant Liam Walsh.
