Video: Fergus McFadden has no idea how to pronounce Hozier

He made a hames of that pronunciation.

Judging from this video, Fergus McFadden has never said “Hozier” out loud before.

The question put to the Irish rugby players in this video was, what music do they listen to before games. Poor ol’ Fergus McFadden had a torrid time pronouncing three little syllables. We would understand if he was trying to pronounce the name of a relatively obscure artist but come on Fergus, you don’t get much more mainstream in Ireland than Hozier!

His blunder did distract nicely from Rob Kearney admitting he listened to the Spice Girls before matches to psyche himself up. I honestly couldn’t think of anything less intimidating.
