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

NZ Rugby: 4/10

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.

\xa0

Waitangi Poll: 8/10 \xa0

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.

No kidding.

\xa0

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

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

\xa0

The politics of it: 4/10

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.

\xa0

The Breakers: 8/10

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

\xa0

Netflix: 4/10

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

\xa0

Joe Biden: 6/10

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

\xa0

Zelenskyy: 9/10 \xa0

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.
