Obviously, with such a Kiwi contingent, it was necessary to clear it up. Some of them are near impossible to pronounce.
Vagana is apparently Vung-gana, Gulavao is Nulla-vow, and Jeremy Smith is actually Jer-e-me Smith...

Jeremy Smith... Jer-e-me Smith :) I love it

Good to hear the proper prounciations too. I think its Braybrook who keeps calling Asotasi Azotasi, hopefully he takes it on board.

Utai is Or Tie. But I don't expect these to ever change now that the Aussies have butchered them forever.
