Mark the Week: The Michelin launch did exactly what we paid for

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.    Netball: 7/10  Because the pleas I have heard this week from players, and coaches, and fans to save the thing have all had passion attached to them, and passion is no bad thing.    Michelin: 9/10  It did exactly what we paid for; got buzz, got vibes, got tables booked, and reps confirmed. It's quite possibly a tourism-cum-marketing masterstroke.    Chris Hipkins: 4/10  The Michelin misread was next level cloth-ear. Keep that up and the campaign is over.     Serena and Mark: 4/10  As in Williams and Mitchell. The common thread? Age and injury. You've got to know when to fold 'em.    The All Blacks: 8/10  New era, new season, easy spanking for the opener given it's the French away, and not even a good French away.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
