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.

NZ Rugby: 3/10

When it comes to the Ranfurly Shield, it's these sorts of examples that damage the reputation of the game, the administration, and running of the game and remind us that for all the greatness of the All Blacks and the Rugby World Cup there is a lot of very provincial, old-world dopey thinking running the machinery.

All Blacks: 7/10

Although we were always going to win, the way we did against Italy made the watch worthwhile.

\xa0

The Republicans: 3/10

Between McCarthy, Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump, what a collection of dysfunctional doofuses.

\xa0

Birkenstock: 7/10

The genius of taking a really rude product and yet making it worth billions in an IPO.

\xa0

Weetbix: 3/10

We have supply issues - oh whoops, no we don\u2019t. Not very Christian, is it?

\xa0

The campaign: 6/10

I can't help but think it\u2019s a week too long, considering all the policy is out. The bitching over break-ins and race and costings is getting petty. If it was over tomorrow I wouldn\u2019t be sad.

Voting: 8/10

It's open, it's on. I voted early for the first time ever and it still feels good doing it. It\u2019s a tangible boost to your day.
