    Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula, Aloha and Welcome to Season 09 Episode 73 of Breakfast Bites, by TEIVOVOdigital.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Wednesday morning 19 June 2024.

    Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the blue continent.

    In Rugby Union: The big questions to be answered at Churchill Park in Lautoka when Australia takes on the Fiji Men’s 7s Team over four trial games this week: Will Michael Hooper and Mark Waqanitawase make the cut for the Aussies?

    And same with Selestino Ravutaumada and Iosefo Masi for Fiji – will they be going to Paris?

    In rugby league: The Dolphins welcome a mid-season recruit into their starting 17, with Wayne Bennett unleashing former Bronco star and another Tongan tough guy, Tevita Pangai Junior, who will play his first NRL game of the year at Suncorp against the Storm on Friday night.

    Remember the Dolphins only signed the Tongan tough guy after he was rejected by Craig Bellamy, following a stint in boxing.

    Meanwhile, the Parramatta Eels have trimmed down the list of candidates for Head Coach to two, with Jason Demetriou and ex-Wallabies Coach, Michael Cheika knocked out of the running.

    The Daily Telegraph reporting that either Josh Hannay or Jason Ryles will be Parramatta’s next coach from 2025 after progressing through to the next round of interviews.

    It appears that Trent Barrett, who is currently leading the side in an interim role, will also likely miss out.
    In EURO 2024 yesterday: England 1-0 Serbia, Romania 3-0 Ukraine, Belgium 0-1 Slovakia and Austria 0-1 France.

    In other games today: Turkey vs Georgia in Dortmund at 5pm GMT and Portugal vs Czech Republic in Leipzig at 8pm GMT.

    In the NBA Finals: Sixteen years after the Boston Celtics won their 17th NBA Championship, they grabbed a record-breaking 18th cruising to a 106-88 win over the Dallas Mavericks yesterday, to claim the NBA Finals series 4-1.

    With it, the Celtics left the Los Angeles Lakers behind on 17 NBA titles.

    Superstar Jaylen Brown was named Finals MVP, with 21 points, eight rebounds and six assists, while Jayson Tatum heavily involved as a scorer and playmaker, putting up 31 points to go with 11 assists.

    In T20 International Cricket: Estonian cricketer Sahil Chauhan has shattered the record for fastest century in T20 International Cricket, finishing on 144 not out in just 27 deliveries against Cyprus.

    Chauhan smacked 18 sixes during his onslaught, also a record in T20 International Cricket, helping Estonia chase down the 192-run target with 42 deliveries to spare.

    Chauhan also bettered Chris Gayle’s record for quickest hundred in men’s T20s, with the West Indies icon passing the milestone in 30 deliveries during an Indian Premier League game against the Pune Warriors in 2013.

    In the WNBA: One of the most catty rivalries in sports has another chapter.

    In the Indiana Fever vs Chicago Sky game on Sunday, Caitlin Clark drove to the basket and got whacked in the head by who else - Angel Reese.

    After the Fever closed out a 91-83 win, in which Clark scored 23 points on 7-for-11 shooting, along with eight rebounds and nine assists, she was asked what was going through her mind when Reese was called for a flagrant foul.

    “What’s going through my mind? I need to make these two free throws. That’s all I’m thinking about. It’s just part of basketball. It is what it is,” Clark said.

    Reese — who recorded her sixth straight double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds while adding five assists — did not think she did anything wrong.

    “It’s a basketball play. I’m always going for the ball. Y’all are going to play that clip, what, 20 times before Monday,” Reese asked.

    Ooh kitty, kitty cool it babe!

    Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula, Aloha and Welcome to Season 09 Episode 72 of Breakfast Bites, by TEIVOVOdigital.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Tuesday morning 18 June 2024.

    Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the blue continent.

    In Rugby Union: Chiefs who would have caught the eyes of the All Blacks selectors with their performances against the Hurricanes: Emoni Narawa is playing like a man who had his Rugby World Cup robbed and is desperate to win it back.

    The wing was an electric and serious handful for the Hurricanes.

    Damian McKenzie stood up when it mattered as his perfect kicking off the tee for 15 points steered his side to victory.

    McKenzie was composed and brilliant throughout the game for the Chiefs, and the way he controlled the game after their fast start, is very encouraging for his desire to start at 10 for the All Blacks.

    Lastly, one of the players of the game was a barnstorming Wallace Sititi, who carried like a Spartan on the night. The Chiefs No. 8 made 150M, beating four defenders and still making 13 tackles.

    There is plenty of back-row depth in the All Blacks, but Sititi is really special with the ball in hand.
    In rugby league: Billy Slater has made two changes to his Maroons side that thumped NSW in ORIGIN 1, recalling two veterans.

    Despite his starring role after coming from the bench in the early stages of the series opener, Selwyn Cobbo has been left out of ORIGIN II.

    Eels back-rower J'Maine Hopgood is the other player to miss out, with Slater revealing the Eels gun had injured his back playing for his club.

    Tongan tough guy Felise Kaufusi starts on the bench for the MCG clash, with Kurt Capewell named to replace Cobbo in a more traditional utility role, providing forward cover, while also able to play Centre.

    In EURO 2024 yesterday: Jude Bellingham slotted home his first goal of EURO 2024 and the only goal of the game – a powerful header for England 1-0 Serbia.

    In other games today: Romania 3-0 Ukraine in Munich, Belgium 0-1 Slovakia with the second half underway in Frankfurt and Austria vs France at 8pm GMT in Dusseldorf.

    At the US Open: The putts kept dropping for popular Irishman Rory McIlroy at the US Open at Pinehurst N0. 2 North Carolina yesterday - one at the 12th from 22 feet, another on the short 13th.

    After a hot streak of four birdies across a five-hole stretch, McIlroy stood two clear of Bryson DeChambeau at the 16th.
    And then it all fell apart.
    McIlroy missed a 30-inch putt at the 16th which DeChambeau, following in the group behind, parred.

    McIlroy then parred on the 17th.

    The 2011 US Open champion stood on the 18th tee and the 2020 US Open champion stood on the 17th.

    After Bryson DeChambeau parred the 17th, McIlroy hit his approach from a sandy lie, short of the 18th green.

    He pitched it to 3 feet 9 inches of the hole, poised to take the championship, but McIlroy missed the putt.

    Still with a chance to win, the Irishman tumbled to 5 under, one back from DeChambeau.

    There is no hiding from it - three bogeys in his last four holes is a choke – big time.

    McIlroy walked down the steps into the scoring room and then left without congratulating the 2024 US Open Champion, Bryson DeChambeau.

    And in Boxing: “I wanted the knockout,” he said. “I hurt him a couple of times, looked at my Dad and he said, ’What are you doing?” I said I was just having fun.

    “My corner said, ‘Do what you’re doing. If you want step on the gas or you can box and do what you want.’ “At the end of the day, I kept it clean, made him look silly and won easily,” said rising British star, Ben Whittaker after he beat the previously unbeaten Nigerian Ezra Arenyeka.

    And that’s a wrap peeps!

    Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula, Aloha and Welcome to Season 09 Episode 71 of Breakfast Bites, by TEIVOVOdigital.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Monday morning 17 June 2024.

    Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the blue continent.

    In Rugby Union: And then there were two – emerging from their respective Super Rugby Pacific semifinals – where the Blues whacked the Brumbies 20-34 and the Chiefs caught the Hurricanes napping for an upset 30-19 win.

    So who is going to stamp their mark on the finals and in Razor’s new-look All Blacks squad 2024 – Hoskins Sotutu or rising star, Wallace Sititi, the Chiefs outstanding No. 8?

    Will it be incumbent All Blacks utility and Chiefs star, Damian McKenzie or the Blues Harry Plummer?

    In rugby league: NSW Blues Head Coach Michael Maguire has shaken up his squad for ORIGIN II, dropping Cameron McInnes and Nicho Hynes for Rabbitohs skipper Cameron Murray at lock and Isaah Yeo on the bench.

    Mitchell Moses has been named in the No.7 jersey, while Latrell Mitchell is, as widely speculated, in at Centre, with Mitch Barnett replacing Matt Burton as 18th man.

    In Super Netball: Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard netted a record 73 goals for West Coast Fever, in front of their largest ever crowd of 11,267 to lift her side to a gritty 78-71 win over the struggling NSW Swifts yesterday.

    The Fever’s win ensures they reclaim second spot on the Super Netball ladder.

    The Melbourne Mavericks kept their finals hopes alive as they piled on the pain for the Queensland Firebirds with a 73-61 victory at John Cain Arena.

    While the Melbourne Vixens hung on for a thrilling 63-61 win over the Sunshine Coast Lightning.

    Meanwhile, the Giants’ 2024 finals hopes are hanging by a thread after suffering a 42-57 loss to the Adelaide Thunderbirds in Sydney on Saturday night.

    In Football: EURO 2024 results: Italy 2-1 Albania in Dortmund, Poland 0-2 Netherlands in Hamburg, Denmark 1-1 Slovenia in Stuttgart and we tip Serbia to shampoo England in Gelsenkirchen.

    In SportsBiz: The best guess by MLB executives, agents and insiders polled by ESPN, of the free-agent contract for Yankees star Juan Soto, due to hit the open market after the 2024 season is US$482.5Million!

    Unlike Dodgers star, Shohei Ohtani’s record US$700M contract, most of it to be paid out after the contract ends, Soto’s deal is fully paid out during the term of the contract.

    And in Boxing: Back in the ring for the first time since April 2023, Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis returned in style with an eighth-round knockout of the previously undefeated Frank Martin in Las Vegas yesterday, defending his WBA World Lightweight title.

    Martin, who boasted a 18-0 record with 12 knockouts before this fight, was no match for the now 30-0 Davis.
