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!
