Blocker just said he reckons it wont be long til we see Palasia, who isnt even in the 17.

I can probably give him a pass on pronounications when he struggles knowing who is in the 17

Haha did he really, my god.

Yeah haha, was hoping he'd pop in right now. Tapawho mightn't be correct still, but something like Ta-u-pa-u .. Ta-oo-pa-oo.. I dunno

Rip, taking the two not good for Walsh

Marty Taupo now

Walsh could still get a 60 here

Alright Carrigan, time to spend rest of the game on the bench, you deserve it!

I can’t judge them. I pronounce Papalii differently depending on what the first name is

I heard it last week from someone else too. I think it might be the proper pronunciation?

Nah mate it's Ta-pa'u, no commentator is saying it correctly. The u is not so pronounced, but it is a u sound, you roll the a and u sound with an abbreviated break noted by the ' I inserted.

Yeah too bloody complicated to spell out in written form

Sounds like it's supposed to be "Top-ah-ooo"

Here's the pronunciations from the Samoan players themselves https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cjr5U84qTIJ/?img_index=1

(Disclaimer: I can barely pronounce many of them myself)

Kevvy must have traded Carrigan in this week

I'm still surprised that this is his role these days, but I'd be pretty stoked to have him as your bench option compared to - and no offence to the fella - someone like Wiremu Greig.

Or held him, at least.

The strong sounds are the consonants the vowels are softer, but yeah Ta-Pah-u

A POD, a bye rd hold and a hip drop walk into a bar…

No wonder Matt’s players keep getting injured if they’re walking into a bar

Carrigan finally gone?
