I remember last year before the AIs S4C ran an advert about a lot of SH names

Not long, and I know it is not his real name but Chilliboy Rallepelle is an awesome name

Another one is Junior Poluleuligaga, that name caught me way offside as I almost made another Junior "Polu" in my roster update, but luckily I realized that "Poluleuligaga" was actually "Polu".
Then his got a second name as well, Aukusitino.

Aukusitino Junior Poluleuligaga

I still find Piri Weepu kinda funny. Say it out loud...

Espechially if he one day forms a half-back partnership with that fly-half playing in the Super 14 the other week called Potty.

The commentators will be shaking in their boots that they might qualify for RWC 2015, if they thought Georgia was hard then they will have another thing coming ...

 

[Draggs]

Bladen would have know issue.
Jonathan Davies would jump out of the commentary box.

The Georgian names were decent enough to fluke, just mumble and add -vili.

Tobias Gerald Albert Lieven Flood... Dear lord, at least he his parents had the decency to not give him a double-barreled surname.

 

[big ginger 8]

****! I'm guessing their is something significant about names starting with Ra in Madagascan culture.

 

[Groundhog]

Ooh ah up the Ra's.
Future Madagascan chant starter here

 

[Dizzy]

Johnathan Falesasa Umaga

Not funny or long, just not Tana.. lol

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Not rugby names but I think Mike Hunt and Mike Hawk are hilarious names

 

[white bear]

Tusi Pisi most funny:lol:

 

[TRF_heineken]

I remember on Jonah Lomu Rugby on the PS1 the kicker from malaysia had a funny name: "Laksanasompong with the kick" was usually how the game started...

 

[welshglory]

Ratu Taniela Rawaqa Maravunawasawasa

His short name is Taniella Rawaqa​

 

[Groundhog]

I've always found Benjamin Urdapiletta amusing, mainly because I mispronounce his name and end up calling him Urpalurrpida
