Talofa, Ma’lele’i, Bula and welcome to Season 05 Episode 20 of Breakfast Bites, the FIJI & PACIFIC SPORTS NEWS PODCAST, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on another cloudy Saturday morning 22 April 2023.

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

In rugby union: The Chiefs title quest marches on after they rolled the Fijian Drua 17-50 in the rain in Hamilton last night, to bank another bonus point win and strengthen their grip on top spot while extending their franchise record start in Super Rugby Pacific to eight unbeaten games.

In a nod to the brilliant flair they have injected into Super Rugby Pacific, Fijian Drua Wing Ilaisa Droasese claimed the try of the match after an 80M counter-attack following an error on attack by the Chiefs.

Other aspects of the Drua’s work, though, left a lot to be desired before they tackle the Blues this weekend.

The World Rugby 7s Challenger Series 2023 in South Africa to get into the HSBC World Rugby 7s Series from next year sees, in the Men’s semis: Belgium v Germany, Hong Kong China v Tonga and in the Women’s semi-finals: South Africa v China and Belgium v Poland.

Go Tonga go!

In rugby league: The Broncos dominated the first half scoring three tries in nine minutes and then held off a second-half comeback from the Eels for a 26-16 win in wet and wild conditions in Darwin.

Superman Payne Haas finished the game with 200 running metres, five tackle busts and 17 tackles without any misses.

The Eels scored two tries in the second half to get back into the game but it wasn’t enough to make up for a defensive horror show in the first 40 where they missed a total of 33 tackles to Brisbane’s 16 and 21 of those were in the first half alone.

In football: The US and Mexico have submitted a joint bid to co-host the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, against bids already submitted by Brazil, South Africa, and a joint bid by Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

The US, Mexico and Canada are already set to co-host the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup.

In SportsBiz: Manchester City is moving ahead with a US$373Million renovation of Etihad Stadium, including a capacity increase from 53,400 to around 61,000 seats, on an upper tier on the north stand, with a sky bar and roof walk above, a covered fan zone with food and drink outlets, a new Club shop and museum, a 400-bed hotel and an incubator for SMEs working with Man City, team owner City Football Group, and Etihad Campus partners.

In boxing: Ryan Garcia started boxing at the age of seven and became a 15-time US national amateur champion, amassing an amateur record of 230 fights with 215 wins and only 15 losses.

Although American by birth and nationality, Garcia often carries both the US and Mexican flags into the ring as he will this weekend against Gervonta Davis in their Lightweight super fight this weekend.
