Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula and Welcome to Season 09 Episode 08 of Breakfast Bites, by TEIVOVOdigital.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Wednesday morning 10 April 2024.
                                                                  
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Blue Continent. 
 
In rugby: Some social media rugby experts are blaming one-sided match officials for picking on the Fijian Drua and frustrating players as the main reason for their big loss to the Melbourne Rebels last weekend.
 
Well I beg to differ and say rubbish! No matter what happens on-field, there is no place for player indiscipline and striking out against opposition players.
 
In Football: Anonymous online supporters of the Islamic terror group ISIS have issued a threat to soccer stadiums across Europe ahead of major games in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League being played this morning.
 
A post disseminated this week by the pro-ISIS online media outlet Al Azaim Foundation showed graphic imagery of a gunman in a balaclava, with the message, "Kill them all," in large text.
The post lists Paris's Parc de Prince and Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu as targets.

Yesterday Real Madrid and Manchester City drew 3-3 without incident and Arsenal drew 2-2 with Bayern Munich in Germany.

In SportsBiz: With Caitlin Clark being the biggest story in sports, TV ratings for the finals title game, where South Carolina beat her team Iowa 75-87, peaked at a whopping 24 million and averaged 18.7 million TV viewers.

ESPN said it was the most watched basketball game since 2019, beating the ratings for every sporting event outside of football and the Olympics in that period.
 
In rugby league: “Lord Nelson” Asofa-Solomona has been listed on the extended bench, and could be a late inclusion to play his first NRL game for the season in the Melbourne Storm versus Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at AAMI Park, 6pm on Friday night.
 
In WWE Wrestling: The WWE finally gave the fans what they wanted.
 
Cody Rhodes ended Roman Reigns’ historic 1316-day run as World Champion to conclude WrestleMania XL.

Unsurprisingly the match, contested under ‘Bloodline Rules’ - aka no disqualifications - featured a heavy dosage of interference, with Rhodes’ friends, and also some with little to do with him, helping him overcome Reigns’ allies, including “The Rock”.

And that’s a wrap!
