Big Franch utility forward Seb Chabal has been released from his contract with Racing Metro.
According to a report on Sport24, the reason for the split came down to a difference of opinion on the club’s strategy. That, to me, sounds like a good way of saying that the coaches simply couldn’t work with him any more – given his reputation for being something of a maverick.
Apparently the parties will remain on “good terms”, but it will be interesting to see where the hirsute 33-year-old goes next, since he must rapidly be approaching his sell-by-date. Perhaps a trip down to the south coast to have a chat with the boys at Toulon will be on the cards – they’ll buy anything, after all!

I’m gonna run out tonight and break as many windows as I can and leave a PG glass card behind ..perhaps by Monday morning the Lions can make him an offer …
@csb (Comment 1) : you mean Autoglass? 🙂
@csb (Comment 1) : Imagine this with me if you will. The opposition have been battered and bruised by Josh Strauss’ uncompromising play. They lift their weary heads and see to their joy he is being substituted. Hooray they all cry (surprisingly in unison and with amazing harmony)! Their joy is, however, short-lived as Sebastian Chabal lumbers onto the field and picks up where Josh left off 😆
@StevieS (Comment 3) : I’d say replace Van Heerden or Van Der Merwe with Chabal. That way both cavemen are on the field at the same time!!

@StevieS (Comment 3) :

Only 33? I thought he was much older
@StevieS (Comment 3) : Reminds me of that story when Jerry Collins turned out for some clubs 3rd team a few years back
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 7) : Haha ja, I’d forgotten about that. Those poor opposition players 😆
