    Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula, Aloha and Welcome to Season 09 Episode 64 of Breakfast Bites, by TEIVOVOdigital.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Monday morning 10 June 2024.

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

    Congratulations Eleina McDonald, the new Manager of the Flying Fijians.

    In rugby union: So the Super Rugby Pacific semifinal sees the Blues hosting the Brumbies at Eden Park at 7.05pm on Friday night, and in an all-kiwi clash in Wellington that is, the Hurricanes against the Chiefs on Saturday at 4.35pm.

    The big question is – can the Brumbies crash the party in New Zealand?

    In rugby league: The Storm were cruising at 34-16 in the 66th minute before Dane Gagai crossed for Newcastle and Enari Tuala reeled in a smart Jackson Hastings chip with four minutes to play, and it was game on.

    The Storm hung on for a 36-28 win against a gallant bunch of Knights in an entertaining battle at AAMI Park.

    In Football: There are 24 teams involved in the EURO 2024, which kicks off this weekend in Germany, all with squads of 26 men, drawn mostly from players in one of Europe's top 10 leagues, although some ply their trade in Saudi Arabia or the MLS, and others in England’s second-tier Championship or Italy's Serie B.

    In Boxing: Controversial boxer Ryan Garcia was arrested for felony vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills on Saturday afternoon according to TMZ Sports.

    Law enforcement sources say the American boxer was arrested and taken into custody after he allegedly damaged property at the hotel, including his room and the hallway.

    The fighter was seemingly under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, complied with authorities and went peacefully to the Beverly Hills Jail shortly before 4pm Pacific time.

    Eyewitnesses add, they saw nearly a dozen cop cars outside the hotel, responding to the incident.

    TMZ Sports further reported that hotel staff called the Police on Wednesday night for a welfare check on Garcia, after a member of his family called reception saying he was in some kind of distress.

    In SportsBiz: Thirty-eight States and the District of Columbia offer some form of legalized sports betting in the United States of America.

    Revenues generated from State-sanctioned sports betting - which didn’t exist outside of Nevada until May 2018, when the US Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act; betting has climbed from US$135Million in 2017 to US$10.9Billion last year, according to the American Gaming Association.

    Much of the betting industry’s growth, and misconduct has been fueled by mobile betting, which is available in 30 states plus DC.

    And in the NBA Finals: The Boston Celtics do battle with the Dallas Mavericks in Game 02 of the NBA Finals at TD Garden in Boston again later today.

    Finally, only in the USA: Unconfirmed reports say that Caitlin Clark won’t be – won’t be part of the United States women’s national basketball team for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

    The news of Clark’s omission, which is not official yet, has exploded on social media and comes after her fantastic performance on Friday night.

    She equaled a WNBA rookie record with seven 3-pointers for the Indiana Fever in front of the largest WNBA crowd in 17 years of 20,333 fans in Washington DC.

    Minnesota Lynx coach, Cheryl Reeve, who was critical during the pre-season of the WNBA’s heavy focus on Clark, is coaching Team USA this summer, and reportedly wants to go with a veteran roster, according to reports.

    Oh Caitlin, what have you done?

    And that’s a wrap!

    Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula, Aloha and Welcome to Season 09 Episode 63 of Breakfast Bites, by TEIVOVOdigital.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Sunday morning 09 June 2024.

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

    In rugby union: Tears flowed in the Super Rugby Pacific quarterfinals in Wellington last night, after the Hurricanes overcame a slow start to record a 47-20 win over the Melbourne Rebels, in what was their last game in their 14th and final season.

    Rugby Australia decided to shut down the club, which went into administration in January owing almost A$23Million in debts.

    In other games, the Blues starved the Fijian Drua of any ball in the first half of their clash at Eden Park last night for a 36-5 win, and the Brumbies humbled the Highlanders 16-32 in Canberra.

    In rugby league: Souths fullback Latrell Mitchell is the red-hot favourite to earn the Centre spot in the NSW Blues, replacing Joseph Sua’ali’i and be recalled into ORIGIN for the first time since 2021.

    He was simply outstanding in South’s win against the Titans yesterday.

    In Football: Kylian Mbappé missed France training yesterday ahead of their match against Canada on Monday. The France Captain’s absence from training may come as a slight scare to fans of Les Bleus with the start of UEFA EURO 2024 less than a week away.

    In Boxing: “New date, same place, same fate,” Youtuber and fake boxer Jake Paul announced on X, formerly Twitter yesterday.

    Mike Tyson’s fight against Jake Paul has been rescheduled for 15 November after being postponed following a health scare of former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.

    Promoters announced that the bout, which had been planned for July 20, will still be contested at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas — home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.

    In the NBA Finals: The Boston Police Department have a warning for Boston Celtics fans wanting to watch their team battle it out with the Dallas Mavericks in person: Be wary of counterfeits when purchasing tickets for the NBA Finals Championship.

    After beating Dallas by almost 20 points at TD Garden on Thursday, the Celtics will face off against the Mavericks in Boston again at 8pm Sunday.

    And that’s a wrap!

    Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula, Aloha and Welcome to Season 09 Episode 62 of Breakfast Bites, by TEIVOVOdigital.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Saturday morning 08 June 2024.

    Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the blue continent.
    In rugby union: The opening Super Rugby Pacific quarterfinal last night saw the Waikato Chiefs rumble the Queensland Reds 21-43 in Hamilton.

    The ruthless and clinical Chiefs ran in four unanswered first-half tries to lead 31-0 at the break and set up the demolition job.

    Today, we tip the Hurricanes to rambo the Rebels in Wellington, the Fijian Drua to bimbo the Blues at Eden Park and the Brumbies to hullaballoo the Highlanders in Canberra.

    In rugby league: Kevin Walters has come out firing at the NRL, declaring Joseph Sua’ali’i’s four-game suspension for his high shot on fullback Reece Walsh “not enough”.

    Sua’ali’i, who was sent off in the NSW Blues loss to Queensland in ORIGIN 01, accepted the four-game ban that was handed down by the NRL’s match review committee yesterday.

    However, speaking to reporters ahead of his team’s game against Cronulla, Walters urged the NRL to do more to protect Walsh and the other “great players” in the sport.

    In Football: Spanish Coach Luis de la Fuente has surprisingly dropped Barcelona wonderkid Pau Cubarsi from his Euro 2024 squad yesterday.

    Cubarsi enjoyed a sensational breakthrough season at Barca, aged just 17.

    Spain is in Group B with Croatia, Italy and Albania in EURO 2024 starting next weekend.
    In the NBA: A first-quarter explosion from Kristaps Porzingis inspired the Boston Celtics to a dominant 107-89 win over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

    Porzingis, who had missed 10 playoff games with a calf injury and last played on 29 April, showed no signs of rust as he scored 18 points in the opening quarter.

    In fact, Boston’s 37-20 first quarter lead is the largest in NBA Finals history.

    Jaylen Brown scored a team-high 22 points while also making a big impact on defense with three blocks and just as many steals.

    Luka Doncic, meanwhile, had a game-high 30 points for Dallas to go with 10 rebounds but only had one assist as the Mavericks struggled to get anything from their bench.

    In SportsBiz: Top French Club Paris Saint-Germain still owes Kylian Mbappé, who just signed with Real Madrid on a free transfer, a bonus and two months of wages, according to ESPN.

    The superstar is seeking back pay of US$86Million in compensation for his final season from PSG.

    Oh boy, this doesn’t sound like it’s gonna end well for Mbappe.

    And that’s a wrap!
