| This is quite interesting...
In Samoan, the letter G is pronounced as though there is an N before that G, so Ulugia is pronounced UluNGia, Vagana is pronounced VaNGana.
Tongan pronunciation is easier but many disregard the vowels at the end of names. Therefore, Sekope should sound like Sekop-eh, not Sekop-ee.
In Maori, the most common mistake is the pronunciation of words and names starting with the letters Wh, which sounds like F. Not a problem for rugby commentators, but in the NRL Manly's Dean Whare (Far-ay) has had to make it known.
In the Fijian language things get a bit trickier. What is written as C is pronounced as Th, while Qs should sound like Ng. So Rokocoko is pronounced RokoTHoko, and Tuqiri is pronounced TuNGiri.

Yes, the ref was Dave Campbell not Phil Bentham. Commentator was Mick Morgan

Ah, I think perhaps *that's* the one I was thinking of.
