Talofa, Ma’lelei’i, Bula and welcome to Season 4 Episode 81 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on a cloudy but warm Thursday morning 23 March 2023, coming to you from paradise on the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
In rugby league – our world famous Tips for the NRL Round 4: Tonight Parramatta Eels to papadoc Penrith Panthers at CommBank Stadium in Sydney. Tomorrow the Melbourne Storm to weewilliwonka Wests Tigers at AAMI Park in Melbourne and the Dolphins to bongaballu the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium.
In rugby union – slowly, slowly tweak and fix; Fijian Drua Head Coach, Mick Byrne has made a smart move promoting Frank Lomani to take over the kicking duties after his three out of three conversions from difficult angles last week that kept the Fijian Drua in the game against the Reds.
Next step try out the two times Man of the Match at flyhalf, or at least give Lemeki Valetini a start with Caleb Muntz coming off the bench.
In Sportsbiz – Foot Locker is revamping their bricks-and-mortar sales strategy, having found that 400 US stores in malls make up less than 10% of their total sales.
So the company plans on closing these 400 locations across the country by 2026, and in place of them, opening up more than 250 new “concept” stores.
In football – apart from the Qatari consortium, British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe is also expected to make a second bid for Man U. Ratcliffe purchased Ligue 1 side Nice for US$106Million in 2019. Man U is third in the EPL table, is in the FA Cup semi-finals, and set to face Spanish side Sevilla in the UEFA Europa League Quarterfinals.
In boxing – Tyson Fury versus Oleksandr Usyk is off after Frank Warren failed in last-minute talks to salvage the undisputed world heavyweight fight at Wembley Stadium, London on 29 April.
The Ukrainian will now have to face WBA mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois.
Me thinks, the problem with world heavyweight boxing at the moment is – too much money and way too much greed.
