Mark the Week: Auckland FC's a sensational story

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 Americans: 8/10 

Spoke with a rare clarity around a singular idea called 'Trumpism'. 

 

Trump: 9/10 

As profound a redemption and comeback story as you will ever see. 

 

The All Blacks: 8/10 

Awesome start to the Northern Tour against England because, no, we don’t count Japan. Next stop is Ireland, which is not the same as England. 

 

Boris Johnson: 7/10 

Enjoyable and on his way here. Politics aside, the world needs more irrepressible and brilliant people. 

 

Auckland FC: 8/10 

A sensational story. They're barely formed, haven't lost and you can't score against them. 

 

Cars: 6/10 

Because October's sales were some of the best of the year, unless of course you sell EVs.

Auckland FC eight a sensational story barely formed, haven't lost,
