    Former French international, Sebastian Chabal was part of the "entertainment" at the Hong Kong 7s:

      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.

        Back to rugby:

        The Black Ferns Sevens team has been named for the Kitakyushu Sevens (20 and 21 April):

        Shakira Baker - Waikato
        Dhys Faleafaga - Wellington
        Rhiarna Ferris - Manawatu
        Sarah Hirini (captain) - Manawatu
        Tyla Nathan-Wong - Auckland
        Risi Pouri-Lane - Ta$man
        Chey Robins-Reti - Waikato
        Alena Saili - Southland
        Terina Te Tamaki - Waikato
        Ruby Tui - Bay of Plenty
        Stacey Waaka - Waikato
        Niall Williams - Auckland
        Tenika Willison - Waikato

        18-year-old Dhys Faleafaga is in line for her debut, one week on from signing a full time contract with the Black Ferns Sevens.
        
        Chey Robins-Reti, who was a contracted member of the team in 2017, has been recognised for strong performances in the development team with a national call up.
        
        Michaela Blyde, Kelly Brazier, Gayle Broughton, Theresa Fitzpatrick, Huia Harding, Kat Whata-Simpkins and Portia Woodman are all unavailable for selection due to injury and illness.
        
        Assistant coach Cory Sweeney will be at the helm of the team for the upcoming tournament, with Head Coach Allan Bunting granted leave for health reasons.
        
        The Black Ferns Sevens currently lead the World Series standings, winning the first three tournaments of the season, with three remaining.
        
        “A good result in Japan will go a long way in securing that Olympic Qualifying berth which has been the big goal this season.”

          That's an awfully long injury list.

            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.

                        No it's not. It would be physically impossible for it to be better than anything at all.

                              *Amanaki Nicole is the travelling reserve.

                              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.”

                                    @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.

                                      Yeah last two tournaments have really disappointed, you're right, I just hate seeing the team get worse, not better. Flaky. Arrogant Vs minnow teams. Lacking defensive grit when it counts. Only performing when not under real pressure.
