Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula and Welcome to Season 05 Episode 69 of Breakfast Bites by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news on a cloudy, but warm Monday morning 12 June 2023.Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In rugby league: Powerful Fijian front rower, Tui Kamikamica opened the scoring with a try that the TV commentators thought that he may have knocked on, so to shut them up, the Stormers scored eight more tries at AAMI Park yesterday to stun the Sharks 10-54.Our World Famous Tip for the remaining NRL game to play today: The Eels to electrify the Bulldogs at Accor Stadium.Meanwhile in probably nothing more than a storm in a teacup, the Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that Tim Sheens’ immediate future as Wests Tigers Head Coach, is in doubt with an early exit on the cards.Apparently Sheens is frustrated with the Club’s management following the departure of his trusted accomplice and Recruitment Manager Warren McDonnell, who left during the week, having spent three decades in Leichhardt.In boxing: American Teofimo Lopez defeated Britain’s previously unbeaten Josh Taylor by unanimous decision yesterday to capture the WBO Light-Welterweight World title.Judges handed the 25-year-old Brooklyn fighter the victory by scores of 115-113 on two cards and 117-111.Lopez improved to 19-1 and became a two-division world champion with his new crown.In Football and SportsBiz again: Lionel Messi’s move to Inter Miami is already having a major impact on Major League Soccer: Ticket sales and prices for the seven away games Miami is scheduled to play are skyrocketing, some as much as tenfold, with get-in prices in Los Angeles already at US$500.Charlotte FC and Atlanta United are opening the upper levels of their stadiums to allow for full capacity crowds, instead of their usual 30,000 fans each, while Orlando City is using its home game against Inter Miami to drive season-ticket sales.Thanks to Messi Magic, Inter Miami could even play some of their MLS home games at the Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium to accommodate more fans than at their 19,000-capacity home Stadium. MLS broadcast partners, Apple — which reportedly helped facilitate Messi’s signing with a revenue-sharing component — will no doubt benefit from Messi Magic as well.Everybody was scratching their heads when Apple paid US$2.5Billion to live stream MLS games, but now the MLS boasts the most popular soccer player in the world, it makes Apple look really smart.And finally in rugby: The New York City 7s with a record winners cash prize of F$2.2Million, has been cancelled due to poor air quality across the big apple, from hundreds of bushfires raging across parts of Canada.However, critics point to the Promoter’s prior record of big talk, no action, because the reality is, the bushfires will die down by the time the tournament was scheduled to be held anyway!In more positive rugby news - at the Fiji International Women’s Association’s annual fundraising ball, at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Suva on Saturday night, four Fijiana Drua jerseys went for $18,000 at auction.Go Girls Go!For TeivovoSports.com I’m Culden Kamea – please hit the like and subscribe buttons below if you want to receive more Pasifika sports highlights on Breakfast Bites.Mahalo, vina’a and tank you all too mass for all your love and support.#TEIVOVORugby #TEIVOVODigital #TeivovoRugby #TeivovoDigital #rugby #rugby7s #FijiRugby #rugbyunion #rugbyleague #Raka #team #rugbytraining #sports #FRU #Fiji #womensrugby #rugbygirls #wrugby #ladiesrugby #womeninsport #woman #rugby #rugby7s #FijiRugby #rugbyunion #rugbyleague #fitness #weightlifting #training #team #rugbytraining #sports #rakavi #DevelopmentFiji
