Description

Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 06 Episode 12 of Breakfast Bites by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news on a beautiful bright, sunny and warm Wednesday morning 12 July 2023.Thank you Molly!Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In rugby: Inspirational Rooster Chicken Fijiana Drua Captain, Bitila Tawake and hardworking Fijiana lock, Jade Coates will feature for Waikato Rugby in the 2023 Farah Palmer Cup, alongside four Black Ferns squad members in Renee Holmes, Tanya Kalounivale, Kennedy Simon and Esther Tilo-Faiaoga.In rugby league: While the Queensland Maroons go in search of the first clean sweep since 2010 at Accor Stadium in Sydney tonight, the NSW Blues will look to repeat what they did in 1984, 2007, 2009 and 2016 by winning ORIGIN III to avoid the embarrassing shame of a three nil whitewash.So our World Famous Tip for State of Origin III, with Billy the Kid and his Queensland Maroons proving too good so far, with two wins, is for Freddie Fittler and his New South Wales Blues girls to bounce back with a bit of scratching and hair pulling for a win.In Sportsbiz: Check out the US$2.3Billion MSG Sphere, located just near the Las Vegas Strip and billed as the world’s largest spherical structure, with its 366-by-516-feet wraparound LED screen capable of displaying 256 million different colors. The venue won’t open until late September, when U2 begins a 25-show run there. The 17,500-seat arena is also capable of hosting sports such as boxing and mixed-martial arts, and Formula 1 will take it over during the Las Vegas Grand Prix.No other concerts have been announced for the MSG Sphere, but Sphere Entertainment already has plans to build an identical venue in London and more around the world.In combat sports: WBC World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury will fight MMA star Francis Ngannou in a fight under the official rules of professional boxing, with three judges ringside adopting the 10-point system in Saudi Arabia on 28 October.The Gypsy King's WBC title will not be on the line against the former UFC Heavyweight Champion."As soon as that bell goes, it'll be bombs away. This guy is supposed to be the hardest puncher in the world, but let's see how he reacts when he gets hit by the Gypsy King," Fury said.Cameroon-born Frenchman, Ngannou was 17-3 (12 KOs) in MMA, becoming the UFC’s first African heavyweight champion in 2021. “My dream was always to box, and to box the best,” Ngannou said. “This is my opportunity to make that dream come true and cement my position as the baddest man on the planet.”The WBC said it will not be involved in the fight, with Fury given special permission for a non-title bout as he has no mandatory challenger.And at the Tour de France: On his home soil in the Basque Country, Pello Bilbao claimed victory in Stage 10 of the 2023 Tour de France, his first ever Tour win, outsprinting Georg Zimmermann and Ben O'Connor.The 33 year old dedicated his victory to his team-late Gino Mäder who tragically passed away at the Tour de Suisse last month.Bilbao moved up to fifth overall while Jonas Vingegaard retained the yellow jersey Tadej Pogacar.Finally at Wimbledon: Elina Svitolina's husband and French tennis star, Gael Monfils was absent for her stunning win over world No.1 Iga Swiatek at Wimbledon on Tuesday; the Frenchman at home babysitting their young daughter Skai instead.Svitolina has enjoyed a fairytale Wimbledon comeback, having missed last year's tournament due to her pregnancy. The Ukrainian only returned to action in April, just six months after giving birth, and is already beating the world's best.Meanwhile, a fan at Wimbledon made an incredible catch on day eight when the ball landed in his glass of Pimm's, which costs a whopping US$12.54.Forbes reported that Wimbledon fans are expected to consume more than 270,000 plastic cups of Pimm’s this year.Geez that’s a lot of grog!And that’s a wrap!For TeivovoSports.com I
