6th, FFS
Terrible all weekend with such basic errors you wonder if they're the same guys that played so well earlier in the year.

Former French international, Sebastian Chabal was part of the "entertainment" at the Hong Kong 7s:
And if you can't get enough of that, Old Sea Bass has done a video:

Jesus Christ.......
Chabal would be a terrific bass player with those massive mitts of his though.
I'm also gonna go out and say that this is better than the original. I was in the Hawkes Bay doing some vineyards over the weekend and there was a poster for the Proclaimers who played recently and look like a pair of old lesbians.
Can anyone imagine actually sitting through a Proclaimers concert ? you'd spend the whole time waiting for "500 Miles" and they'd play it last.
....and while it's a catchy singalong song it's actually really shit.

Apparently World Rugby were delighted by the publicity that the singing Sebastian Chabal got in Hong Kong and will use Sea Bass again as "entertainment " later in the year in Japan.
Get ready for Chabal belting out "Delilah", "Lady Godiva" or "I am the Walrus" before Rugby World Cup games.

With that voice and look if I were his manager I’d probably suggest some sort of death metal type project but there’s no denying people love a good novelty act like him, Vanilla Ice or the tubby Asian guy who sang ‘Gangnum style’

Chabal sings Baritone with a narrow range. Most pop songs are for Tenor or high tenor/ Altos and require control on the high register.
Something like Lou Reed's Perfect Day or Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild or Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine or Billy Idol's White Wedding or Billy Joel's Piano Man would suit his voice

Geez if he released an album of those bangers I'd be first in line to buy !
I often looked at Chabal when he was playing and wondered if he was "all there"
These latest antics have done nothing to clear this query up.

Almost any AC DC song would be perfect. If I was Chabal's manager I would have him belting out "Back in Black"

Now you’re just being silly, as if Chabal could match Brian Johnson or the late Bon Scott at their absolute finest.
Of course in terms of singing it extremely low and off key and sounding very much like a second language then the caveman is your guy.

Sione Molia has been ruled out after sustaining a shoulder injury in Hong Kong, Akuila Rokolisa replaces him while Amanaki Nicole has been called in as the travelling reserve.Head Coach Clark Laidlaw said the team was disappointed in Hong Kong last weekend. “We have shown that when we win a quarter-final we are good enough to go all the way so to lose that was massively disappointing. “We’ll be better for it. We had four players coming back from injury that got valuable game time behind them and have trained well this week. We are clear on what makes our game work so need to make sure we put that on the field.”Pool games (in NZT)

@Machpants It's the last two tournaments that they've disappointed, but they haven't been that bad overall. They won gold in Dubai and Sydney, bronze in Hamilton and Las Vegas. Third in overall standings.
