One more thing to have a go at, along with Refs, commentators, video refs, media coverage, stupid rules, the RFL...... There's no 'go', i am generally interested if any of those pronunciations are correct and if so which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboy Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Just noticed that Jon Wells called it Stade Gilbert Brutus rather than Jeel-bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in a Shakespearian ' Et tu, Brutus' way, or with the second syllable pronounced to rhyme with the English 'too'? Hate to point it out, but Shakespeare wrote "Et tu Brute" cleverly using the vocative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Stottle Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 On this name pronunciation theme, has anyone heard the Aussie commentary pronounce the name of the Parra hooker Reed Mahoney, they say Mar-nee, I know a family of Irish decent with the same name and it is Mah-o-nee, which is correct? Funnily enough I never heard the Aussie commentary in talking about James Maloney in pronouncing it Mal-nee, it was always Mal-o-nee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
