Mark the Week: As good as rugby gets

Published: Oct. 19, 2023, 8:47 p.m.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.

\xa0

The election: 7/10

A change of Government, reasonably clean result and an immediate lift in mood.

\xa0

National: 8/10

Better result than most thought, a leader proved better than most thought, new MP's, a lot to play for and high hopes of at least two terms.

\xa0

Labour: 3/10

Worse than they believed and that could be part of the problem. Got smashed in Auckland and deserved every bit of it. Now there's a lot of people without work, a leader who doesn\u2019t seem to want to stay and no obvious successor. There's a long time in the wilderness coming.

\xa0

Damien O'Connor: 4/10

Telling people to f*** off sort of summed up the mindset.

\xa0

Tamatha Paul: 4/10

Not coming on a show like this is their loss, not ours.

\xa0

Andrew Little: 6/10

First of those to walk but he won't be the last. But he's a good bloke with a decent disposition and a pretty solid contribution. He will be remembered well on the Coast and rightly so.

\xa0

The All Blacks: 9/10

As good as rugby gets and another example of a team that was underestimated.
