Description

Talofa, Ma’lelei, bula and Welcome to Season 05 Episode 50 of Breakfast Bites by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news on this bright and sunny Tuesday morning 23 May 2023.Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In rugby: Many Fiji fans are critical of Ben Gollings and his Fiji team not winning any tournament in the just completed HSBC 7s Series 2023.In fact, some fans are pretty hot under the collar, outright rude and disrespectful.More on rugby 7s in “Background Buzz” at the end of this podcast.In rugby league: Last week, the French government announced that it has rescinded its decision to host the 2025 Rugby League World Cup, citing financial reasons. New Zealand and Australia have expressed an interest to co-host the event. Is this an opportunity to also host games in Oceania to spread the gospel?Meanwhile, Queensland Head Coach, Billy Slater has been accused of disloyalty after his controversial call to axe Maroons stars Dane Gagai and Kalyn Ponga for ORIGIN I on Wednesday week.While south of the border, Brad Fittler has hired Tongan muscle to stand up to the Queensland bullies, with enforcers, Tyson Frizell, playing his first game for the Blues since 2020 and Tevita Pangai-Junior making his ORIGIN debut in the starting side.Freddie has also handed Nicho Hynes an ORIGIN debut off the bench, with Jarome Luai to start in the No.6 jersey alongside Panthers teammate Nathan Cleary.And the Foxx is back in Blue.In football: Real Madrid star, Vinicius Junior pointed to a fan behind the Valencia goal midway through the second half, with Madrid defender Lucas Vazquez confirming the supporter made monkey gestures at the Brazilian. Very sad.Meanwhile, Manchester City, seven points clear of Arsenal with two games left, can cement their status as one of English football’s greatest ever teams if they can add the FA Cup and the Champions League to their latest Premier League title.Pep Guardiola’s treble chasers face Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley on 03 June, then take on Inter Milan in Istanbul seven days later as they chase a Champions League victory for the first time.In SportsBiz: Brooks Koepka’s two-shot win at the PGA Championship vaulted the 33-year-old into golf history and fueled LIV Golf’s ongoing battle with the PGA Tour.The win gave Koepka his fifth major championship, the same number as legends Seve Ballesteros and Byron Nelson.Although the PGA Championship this year boosted its overall purse to US$17.5Million, their US$3.15M paycheck for the winner is less than the US$4M Koepka took home from his most recent LIV tournament victory last month in Orlando. The biggest takeaway from Koepka’s triumph is that competing on LIV instead of the PGA Tour does not automatically take a player out of major form.But the larger question is, whether LIV can parlay Koepka’s wins into more fans interest in the LIV tournaments.In the NBA:The Celtics are gone!Miami Heat became the first-ever eighth seed to win an NBA playoff game by 25 points or more in a brutal 128-102 win over the second-seeded Boston Celtics in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Finals.Miami now holds a 3-0 stranglehold on the NBA Eastern Conference finals, and are vying to become just the second eighth-seeded team, after the 1999 New York Knicks, to reach the NBA Finals.The Heat host game four later today, just one win away from reaching the NBA Finals.Finally in boxing: What did you expect - Promoter’s dream, Tyson Fury stole the show at a media conference in Melbourne yesterday for the Parker-Django fight.The Gypsy King said that he would need less than seven rounds in total to “annihilate” both Francis Ngannou and Oleksandr Usyk – while also revealing he wants to fight in Australia.So who’s fighting tomorrow again?Okay sports fans, on “Background Buzz” today I take a closer look at the Fiji Men’s 7s Team, where many Fiji fans are critical of Ben Gollings and his Fiji team for n
