Mark the Week: As good as rugby gets

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.   The election: 7/10 A change of Government, reasonably clean result and an immediate lift in mood.   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.   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’t seem to want to stay and no obvious successor. There's a long time in the wilderness coming.   Damien O'Connor: 4/10 Telling people to f*** off sort of summed up the mindset.   Tamatha Paul: 4/10 Not coming on a show like this is their loss, not ours.   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.   The All Blacks: 9/10 As good as rugby gets and another example of a team that was underestimated.
