Talofa, Ma’lele’i, Bula and welcome to Season 05 Episode 07 of Breakfast Bites, the FIJI & PACIFIC SPORTS NEWS PODCAST, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on a bright and sunny Saturday morning 08 April 2023.

Coming to you from paradise, on the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!

In rugby union: The Singapore 7s kicks off today at 01:30pm Fiji time with Argentina-Ireland, then South Africa-Australia at 2.14pm, NZ-Hong Kong 2.36pm, Samoa-Spain 3.42pm and Fiji-Canada 4.04pm then the big games – NZ-Australia 6.02pm, Fiji-Samoa 7.30pm, Australia-Hong Kong 9.06pm, NZ-South Africa 9.28pm, Samoa-Canada 11.05pm and the final game on Day One kicks off at 11:33pm with Fiji-Spain.

Play begins tomorrow Easter Sunday at 2:50pm with the ninth place quarter-finals and the gold medal final scheduled for 11:28pm.

In rugby league: It looked like it could have been the Dogs’ day when Jake Averillo sprinted 90M to score a try off their first touch of the ball in the third minute.

But Latrell Mitchell wasn’t having any of that in his 150th NRL game celebration, bagging a hat-trick as the Rabbitohs smashed the Bulldogs 50-16 in their annual Good Friday clash at Accor Stadium.

In Townsville, Jamayne Isaako scored a first-half hat-trick for the Dolphins who then held off a second-half surge from the Cowboys to win 32-22.

Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow also had an outstanding game – “The Hammer” crossed for a double, including the match-sealing try in the final minutes as he exacted revenge on his old Club.

Tabuai-Fidow was the Cowboys’ star fullback until he lost his spot to Scott Drinkwater, and let go early to join the Dolphins.

The 21-year-old finished the Good Friday game with two tries, a try assist, two linebreaks, two linebreak assists, nine tackle busts and 120 running metres in a statement performance.

In Boxing: The wife of former world heavyweight champion, Andy Ruiz Jr. has posted a video on her social media accounts of her throwing his clothes and a diamond-encrusted art piece in the trash saying, “The joke is on both of us,” as Ruiz stands accused of cheating. They have five young children.

In football: The appointment of former Arsenal boss, Unai Emery as the new Aston Villa Manager has proven to be a masterstroke.

Since arriving in November 2022, the Spaniard has transformed Villa’s fortunes and taken them from 17th all the way up to 7th with stunning victories over the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and Brighton.

In The Masters at Augusta: His picture is still on the “Wall of Champions” in the press building at Augusta National, next to Phil Mickelson, but his chair at the Champion’s Dinner was empty.

As the Masters unfolds this week, Angel Cabrera sits in an Argentine prison. Initially jailed for assaulting, threatening and harassing a former partner, he was then sentenced to an additional two years late last year for assaulting another former girlfriend.

His glory days at Augusta in 2009 seems so far away.

Meanwhile, the weather is taking a severe turn for the worse in Augusta in Round Two and it could force an early finish on Monday for the famous tournament.

In SportsBiz: The winner of the 2023 Masters Tournament will pocket US$2.7Million.

Tiger Woods was the first Green Jacket winner to crack the US$2M mark for winning his fifth Green Jacket in 2019.

Woods was also the first to make over US$1M for winning the tournament in 2001 and when he won again in 2002.

And to think that the first tournament winner in 1934 thought that he’d won a fortune with his US$1500 prize.
