The All Blacks: 8/10

For a side under a lot of scrutiny and a lot of angst around the coach, being two for two, and the way they did it, is the best start to a World Cup year you could ever ask for.

\xa0

The Warriors: 8/10

When you think one week they look amazing and then they go and look even more amazing the next week ..thats the makings of a champion side.

The World Cup: 7/10

Always good to be a host of major events and something we need to milk for all its worth, given the lack of tourists.

\u201cIn It For You\u201d: 3/10

Slogans don't win elections and this one appears nicked from the New Democrats in Canada in 2019 anyway.

The law and order triptych: 4/10

Yesterday's tragedy aside, this was a shocking, transparent attempt to look like you are something you are not on a subject you know is sinking you.

Victoria: 1/10

Daniel Andrews and the Commonwealth Games might be the biggest reputational own goal in modern Australian political history. "The home of sport and major events", doesn\u2019t want a major sporting event?

\xa0

Inflation: 6/10

Because it's down but, boy, is there a row to hoe there.

Tory Whanau: 4/10

You can't beat a Wellington leader on a good day.
