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.

\\n

NZ Rugby: 4/10

\\n

There is something that isn\'t quite right about the way that place operates. There\'s too many leaks, too much speculation and too much indecision.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Waitangi Poll: 8/10 \\xa0

\\n

A good reminder of the massive disconnect between the luvvies and the rest of us. 9 percent want the place called Aotearoa, 52 percent like New Zealand.

\\n

No kidding.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

The bonfire, the reset, the Hipkins bread and butter circus: 6/10

\\n

In the sense it did them no harm and does remove some real potential damage to the economy. But...

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

The politics of it: 4/10

\\n

Because it\'s done for the wrong reasons i.e panic and doesn\\u2019t distance them from the real crime of waste. Waste of time, waste of energy.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

The Breakers: 8/10

\\n

A sporting success story in the Australasian setting that has been too long coming.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Netflix: 4/10

\\n

They\'ve cocked this reset up and we should be insulted we are one of only four countries they are trialling it on.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Joe Biden: 6/10

\\n

He looked better than he has for a while and it looks like he\'s running.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Zelenskyy: 9/10 \\xa0

\\n

In a mess of a world he reminds us of what heroes look like. As one British headline put it from Westminster Hall - he was like a king in front of a bunch of pygmies.
