Malo and welcome to Season 3 Episode 19 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on this beautiful Friday morning 19 October 2022, coming to you from paradise on the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
In rugby – it’s simple, Team Fijiana has to beat France to qualify for the Women’s Rugby World Cup quarter finals. England play South Africa before the Fijiana versus France game on Sunday, so if it comes down to the points differential, Fijiana will know the score.
England’s tight win over France in the Women’s Rugby World Cup was watched by a UK television audience of 800,000 on Sunday. Emily Scarratt starred for the Red Roses, scoring all of England’s points in a scrappy 13-7 win.
In rugby league – Mate Ma’a Tonga has just beaten the Papua New Guinea Kumuls 18-24 in their opening RLWC game this morning.
On the sidelines, Tonga is doing its bit to spread the gospel around Saint Helens – their base in England for the RLWC.
Yesterday they got around to visiting 27 local schools and like Captain Siosiua Taukeiaho said: “It is massive for us – not just for the kids. With us being so far away from home it was good to see some of the young English kids wearing Tongan jerseys with a smile on their dials.”
In football – Karim Benzema is the best footballer on the planet and the Real Madrid striker has just won the coveted Ballon d’Or Award to confirm it, following his spectacular form for both club and country in recent times.
Benzema scored 27 goals in just 32 La Liga games, while he also bagged an astonishing 15 goals in Champions League action.
Meanwhile Qatar — whose population is a shade under 3 million people, has sold 2.9 million tickets for the FIFA World Cup.
Can you imagine that fan invasion?
The demand for accommodation in Qatar has seen landlords pushing tenants out to cash in on the surge. One resident was given a week to leave her apartment which she rents at US$2,500 per month, now going for US$1,700 per night for a minimum 14-night stay.
In boxing – “I’m gonna go with Jake Paul, just because he seems like he’s getting into the rhythm of things. He doesn’t have too many fights. He loves boxing, is a hard worker, and has a lot of power. If he connects with Silva, he’s going down,” Oscar De La Hoya writes off Brazilian MMA legend Anderson Silva.
