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 war: 6/10 

Mark my words, this is closer to the end than many think. Round two of talks, a squeeze on the Strait – the Iranians are about to capitulate.  

  

Moana Pasifika: 4/10 

In a competition already lacking sparkle, this can't have helped. And also, perhaps a lesson in starting something for the right reasons, not ideological ones.  

  

The Crusaders' horses: 3/10 

That's a 30-year legacy we will miss.  

  

Ema Aitken: 7/10 

Pleased she wasn’t booted, but nor should she have been. What a storm in a bone china, Northern Club teacup.  

  

The BSA: 7/10 

Can't wait to see the back of them. Good luck and good night.
