Talofa, Ma’lelei’i, Bula and welcome to Season 4 Episode 52 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on a beautiful Wednesday morning 22 February 2023, coming to you from paradise on the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean ! In Rugby – ESPN’s take on Moana Pasifika: Led by Head Coach Aaron Mauger and Captain, Sekope Kepu, they were always going to have a difficult debut season in 2022, add in COVID, a lack of quality time together and the youthfulness of the squad, and it all resulted in just two wins in an otherwise admirable season. One year wiser and with plenty of trials and tribulations under their belt, Moana Pasifika enter the 2023 season no longer behind the eight ball. Eying a top eight finish, Aaron Mauger is expecting plenty from his side. So expect some excitement from young new signings, like loose forward Miracle Fai'ilagi getting plenty of praise from co-captain Christian Leali'ifano, and 25-year-old Timoci Tavatavanawai sure to be a handful on the edge. Add in a game in Apia for the first time for Moana Pasifika and there's plenty to be excited about this year. In rugby league – flying Englishman, Dominic Young has reportedly informed the Knights that he will join the Roosters next season, which means the Titans and Dolphins have also missed out. Apparently the Titans offered Young over A$500,000 a season but it couldn’t compare to the Roosters deal. And Mitchell Moses is expected to announce today that he is staying with Parramatta! In football – Liverpool fans set off fireworks outside Real Madrid's hotel at 2am, in an attempt to disturb the sleep of the opposition, ahead of their Champions League last-16 first-leg game at Anfield today. Liverpool supporters did the same thing before their Barcelona clash at Anfield in 2019. Happy Diwali Real Madrid! Other UEFA Champions League games today: Frankfurt vs Napoli, and tomorrow Leipzig vs Manchester City and Inter Milan vs Porto. In boxing – Youtuber Jake Paul claims Cristiano Ronaldo will be ringside to watch his grudge match against Tommy Fury in Riyadh on Sunday evening since the Portuguese legend is living Saudi Arabia. Tyson Fury joked, Tommy can stay in Saudi Arabia and become Ronaldo's personal trainer should he lose to the fake American fighter.
