#013 - Breakfast Bites - TEIVOVO Rugby - 11-06-2022

Bula and welcome to TeivovoRugby.com – “Breakafast Bites” – a wrap of daily sports highlights for Saturday 11 June 2022! · <br /><br />No matter what the sport, wily old coaches always say that great D wins games, and so it proved last night with the Crusaders putting in a BIG day at the office, clocking up a new Super Rugby record of 250 tackles to hold out the hard-charging Chiefs 20-6 in freezing, wet conditions in Christchurch.<br /><br />And so today up in sunny Auckland at a predicted 14 degrees Celsius, we tip the Blues to dismantle the Brumbies to advance to the Super Rugby Pacific final next week. · <br /><br />With 19 All Blacks playing in Christchurch last night and more today, the Super Rugby Pacific semi-finals are great trials for the first All Blacks squad to be named on Monday. The Crusaders could provide the bulk of the All Blacks, but the challenge for Head Coach Ian Foster and his selectors is whether to select a champion team, or a team of stars. ·<br /><br /> In the NRL, Already without ORIGIN forwards Jeremiah Nanai and Reuben Cotter, the Cowboys lost star forward, Heilum Luki early in the first half, but they barely missed a beat, with superstar Jason Taumalolo and Hooker Reece Robson leading the way to a 31-12 win against St George Dragons in Townsville last night. · <br /><br />In football, England plays Italy in the Nations League with only 3,000 fans allowed to watch; punishment for all the crowd trouble before the Euro 2020 final when fans without tickets forced their way through security gates into Wembley stadium. England Manager Gareth Southgate says the punishment is embarrassing for the country.<br /><br />In boxing, Three-weight world champion, Naoya Inoue is the first Japanese boxer to be crowned “World Pound-for-Pound King”. Unbeaten at 23-0, with 20 wins by Knockout. Inoue is the reigning undisputed WBC, WBA, IBF and Ring Bantamweight World Champion.<br /><br />Finally in money matters, Forbes estimates that the 46-year-old Tiger Woods has now joined LeBron James and Michael Jordan as the third athlete in history to reach billionaire status based on his golf winnings, endorsements and other business ventures over the years.<br /><br />Nowadays less than 10% of Tiger’s net worth and career earnings originate from the golf course. <br /><br />The vast majority of his wealth is generated from lucrative endorsement deals with various brands including Nike, Gatorade, Rolex and TaylorMade. Sounds like stuff I wear Gatorade and Taylormade!!!<br /><br />For TeivovoRugby.com – I’m Culden Kamea. Malo, vina’a and thank you!

#012 - Breakfast Bites - TEIVOVO Rugby - 10-06-2022

Bula and welcome to TeivovoRugby.com – “Breakafast Bites” – a wrap of the daily sports news for Friday 10 June 2022! Watch out for the flying Sevu Reece in the first Super Rugby Pacific semifinal at 7.05pm tonight, and especially keep an eye out for the key match-up between Brodie Retalick and the Crusaders Captain Scott Barrett. The aging Chiefs warrior is in the fight of his life against the young gun and tallest Barrett Bro, to see who will partner Sam Whitelock in the All Blacks this international season. As they say in rugby league – money talks and right now the NRL is flush with cash! Every State of Origin player in ORIGIN I on Wednesday made A$30,000 match allowance just for making the game-day 17. And for all the players NOT in the State of Origin series, the NRL announced a boost in their Club’s salary cap from the current A$10Million ceiling to $10.5M next season, with an annual increase of A$100,000 each subsequent year during the next broadcast cycle. Sad news in boxing, the South African boxer who became disoriented during a fight and threw punches in the direction of an empty corner has died. You may have seen the video of Simiso Buthelezi on Youtube, well he passed away yesterday after being induced into a coma following the fight on 5 June in Durban. He was 24 years old. RIP bro. Finally today, Tiger Woods turned down nearly US$1Billion to join the Saudi-backed LIV Tour, CEO Greg Norman told The Washington Post. The first LIV Invitational tournament teed off in London yesterday with US$25Million in prize money of which US$4M goes to the winner. For their troubles, all 17 PGA-ranked players who entered this tournament – including Phil Mickleson and Sergio Garcia, have been suspended by the US PGA, who see the Saudi-backed tour as a big threat. Geez and I thought golf was a gentlemen’s game! For TeivovoRugby.com – I’m Culden Kamea. Malo, vina’a and thank you!

#011 - Breakfast Bites - TEIVOVO Rugby - 09-06-2022

Bula and welcome to TeivovoRugby.com – “Breakfast Bites” – a wrap of the daily sports news! Queensland turned the tables on the NSW Blues in ORIGIN I in front of 90,000 screaming fans at Accor Stadium in Sydney last night, grinding out a 16-10 win with Man of the Match – who else - Cameron Munster! In boxing, World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury bought two brand new Rolls-Royce cars yesterday at a bargain F$1.2Million each. The Gypsy King owns two other Rolls - so four in total now, a classic Mini Cooper, a Range Rover, a couple of Ferrari’s and a Volkswagen. Don’t throw away your old jersey Hector! Wayne Gretzky won the 1988 Stanley Cup – er that’s in ice hockey, in his final game for the Edmonton Oilers. So last weekend, his jersey from that final sold for US$1.5Million at auction, becoming the most expensive hockey jersey of all time. Harry Kane's goal against Germany on Tuesday night was his 50th goal for England, now just three behind Wayne Rooney's record. It took Cristiano Ronaldo 114 games to score 50 goals for Portugal and Lionel Messi scored 50 in 107 games for Argentina. Kane has got his in just 71 games. And to wrap this morning’s first ever breakfast bite: Sepp Blatter – remember him? The fraud trial of the former-FIFA President was held up again after the 86 year old Blatter complained of chest pains and breathing difficulties. Swiss prosecutors allege a 2011 FIFA payment of US$2.2Million authorised by Blatter to Michel Platini, ex-UEFA President was unlawful. Get this, Blatter and Platini say it was a late payment for advisory work by Platini for the then FIFA President, done 13 years earlier in 1998. Sorry, but these two are crooks!

#009 - Eastern Saints Rugby Club – Seremaia Bai #ROOTSRAKA S01E09

In this short ROOTS RAKA interview we interview Seremaia Bai (former Flying Fijian) about his Rugby Academy Fiji for girls with the club, Eastern Saints Rugby Club. Bula my name is Sermaia Bai. At my back is it's a girl's program with Eastern Saints Rugby Club.   The club is around two and a half to three years old club this is a new program for our girls our daughters that eager and want to try out with the rugby. So they just started probably a month ago, you know the interest from the girls is amazing, I think probably got to do with the power women's sevens team in the world in the Olympics and Credit to them. Most of the girls, or probably 90 percent of our girls, they never played you know they just want to come and try out and you see it's fun and the the tournament has been great we are increasing at time we we reach up to 60 girls. Probably it's just probably the environment we're trying to set we feel all girls are welcome We have sets of rules that we need to follow in order for everybody to participate equally this girl's program.  It's the you know it's catered from under 14 and the 16 and 18 under open. So different Schools different ages different background some come all the way from Nausori . You know different different some some probably don't you know stay in school anymore. But we welcome them for us is about setting an environment where you know kids or girls can come in. And something they can you know make friends and you know have a bit of fun and and be active at the same time . I do have a daughter and i know what it means to have rugby for their life because it creates an opportunity for her to get a scholarship overseas. It's just a safe space where they can just come and have fun and then on top of that we're just trying to improve their skill set and the knowledge of the game. So it's kind of a beginning program for all our girls you know you're hiring the ground trying to get the equipment and the girls they come from some are facing trouble with getting a bus fare to get here you know we're trying to cater for getting some juice afterwards and some things to to for them to eat since they have to go back to their home after school hours. Those are probably the the challenges for us we are facing. Listen to full episode for this great initiative and how you can help. #TEIVOVOFijiRugbyShow #TeivovoRugby #TeivovoDigital #rugby #rugby7s #FijiRugby #rugbyunion #rugbyleague #Raka #team #rugbytraining #sports #FRU #Fiji --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/teivovo-rugby/message
