Malo  and welcome to Season 4 Episode 23 of Breakfast Bites, by  TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on this beautiful  bright and sunny Tuesday morning 24 January 2023, coming to you from  paradise on the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean ! And we start with rugby - no doubt the Fiji fans have made the Hamilton 7s atmosphere electric,  especially whenever Fiji Men and Women are playing, and opposition  coaches and the event organisers fully appreciate it. So the New Zealand 7s is gone after 18 years in Wellington and four in Hamilton. So now what? Straight  out of Hamilton Boys High School, Carlos Spencer's son, Payton is in  the All Blacks 7s squad for the Sydney 7s this weekend. We  ask - shouldn’t Ben Gollings be doing the same with his Fiji Men’s 7s  squad – moving a couple of the older players out and injecting some  young blood? In football – Frank Lampard was relieved of his duties and sacked as Everton manager yesterday. The Toffees are currently languishing in the English Premier League  relegation zone, and defeats to Southampton and West Ham United looked  to be the final straw for Lampard. Staying  with football – in France it seems all is not kosher at PSG with  reports that Lionel Messi is NOT renewing his contract, but instead  still looking at offers from the MLS and Saudi Arabia. And  in England where the Football Association is under pressure to place  more importance on the women’s game after Liverpool’s clash with Chelsea  was called off after five minutes of action due to a frozen pitch. In  rugby league – with Kevin Walters under pressure, Skipper Adam Reynolds  told FOX Sports that Walters’ coaching “has gone to another level” over  the pre-season. Kotoni Staggs added “it’s up to us boys” to silence  Walters’ critics, and Corey Oates says that blaming the coach is “just  not right.” Meanwhile  the Dolphins have a whopping A$2Million left in their 2023 salary cap  which could see the NRL’s newest franchise sign a major cross-code star  as their marquee player. Wayne Bennett has masterfully only spent around 75 per cent of his salary cap according to The Daily Telegraph. In  boxing – Fox Sports Australia has broken the news that undefeated  Australian Champion, Tim Tszyu will fight experienced American, Tony  Harrison on Sunday 12 March in a clash in Australia of the Junior  Middleweight contenders ranked 4 and 5 in the world respectively.
