Chabal played for Sale Sharks whilst I worked with the football club who shared a ground with them. Crossed paths with him several times and holy cow he’s an imposing individual, he’s massive and as everyone knows he’s a tough opponent BUT what a gentleman, he’d stop and pass time with fans quite happily, of all of the players I crossed paths with he stood out ‘cause he was such a decent bloke. Loved watching him play.
thank you, it's nice, but we haven't gained anything, beauty without results is only worth the value we give them! but thanks ! , but our players without your players are nothing! love nations rugby !
I've always liked Rugby more than American football over here. We often played Rugby in the fields near out parents farms here. It was more personal, and I feel required a bit more toughness and compassion for your team to play. We were taught to play by an English boy that moved here with his parents. From then on we had about 6 teams from different neighborhoods that would play a mini league for about 6 years until most of us graduated and moved on. I miss those days!
It does require and involve more strength of both character and brawn. Only minimal protection is offered against the inevitable knocks that a physical game ensures, too
I played in a game vs Esteve for Beziers. Esteve clocked me with a happily a glance!! A monster of a man with clubs in the area. With Michel Palmie 2 monsters that never took a step back. He tried to tap my nose to be a true Bitterois. I wriggled away with what ever force I had to his laughter. So so glad to have met him.
Playing ruby since I was 15 during the late 70 s ,80 s and 90s I've come across many a hardman and seen plenty and I've got to say all were gentleman off the pitch,great sport,great men great video keep them coming
@@Gazzaroothat was part of it back then, getting shoeing a smack in the mouth was a badge of honour afterwards plenty of ale to go along with the story and to sooth a broken nose.
Come on I’m from nz and all rugby boys are heavy drinking never fight one on one and always get away with anything and I grew up with future all blacks
The best era, it’ll never be repeated. France, Springboks, Argentina, Aus, the all blacks. No head gear, no shoulder pads, happy days. Great job mate, cheers.
As an American, I love to see and hear about the physical players in sports other than football from around the world. I think these guys would have done very well in football. Respect from the United States.
Merci pour cette excellente vidéo, qui m'a fait énormément plaisir. Je suis née à BÉZIERS. En 1970 (j'avais 10 ans.) j'étais supporter de l'ABS que nous allions voir au stade de Sauclières avec mon Papa. Bien sur des joueurs comme Gérard Cholley, Sébastien Chabal et Alain Estève on marquer beaucoup de personnes comme moi passionner de rugby. Jean-Luc Fabre a écrit un livre : Alain Estève, le géant de Béziers. Je recommande ce livre qui est bouleversant sur la vie d'Alain Estève. Encore merci pour cette vidéo. Yves
idem pour moi natif de Beziers en 57 j'ai vécu la décennie magique avec Esteve, les frères Vaquerins, Cantoni, Paco, Palmié, Astre, Saisset.....etc.....et Sauclieres en liesse....ah oui j’ai la nostalgie de ces années 70.....merci le rugby.
The French team of the 1970s and 80s were special. Brilliant running rugby from talented mesmerising backs and absolute thuggery from the forwards. That French team had some massive games against the NZ All Blacks and the violence on the pitch matched the brilliant rugby.
Andy MacDonald. Springbok. Colin was wary of him, and said as much. That, coming from a proper old-school All Blacks 'enforcer' is testimony enough. R.I.P Sir Colin Meads. GBNF.
Mon classement est 1 Cholley 2 Estève 3 Palmié 4 Chabal. J'ai vu beaucoup de matches depuis les années 70, ce n'était pas le même rugby mais certains joueurs étaient absolument monstrueux et craints. Chabal est peut être le meilleur de tous mais ce n'était pas le plus effrayant, il y avait beaucoup plus de défis physiques statiques dans les années 70-80 et d'intimidations. Des fois c'étaient la guerre My ranking is 1 Cholley, 2 Estève, 3 Palmié, 4 Chabal. I've watched a lot of matches since the '70s; it wasn't the same rugby, but some players were absolutely monstrous and feared. Chabal may be the best of all, but he wasn't the most intimidating; there were many more static physical challenges in the '70s-'80s and intimidations. Sometimes, it was like a war.
I was fortunate enough to meet two rugby players from the Australian national team when I was in Sydney.. they were the most intimidating and humble guys in the pub.. absolute beats of men, and at the same time super friendly and cool.
Great video... I'm American so we don't even have rugby here but I know Sebastien Chabal! That dude is a f*****g legend... 20 + years ago when I first started lifting weights he's one of the guys I wanted to be like... I never knew the guy was as funny as he was or the music part... I love that considering I'm a guitarist myself and music is a huge part of my life... Great job, good video, I learned something today... Thank you
What legends these players were. Thank you for a great video! I'm a South African and appreciate the older generation rugby too. These were players in my fathers time.
Love it Matt, nobody better to keep these legends rolling ! Always boxing here , but massive love for the rugby too , so I was very happy to see you put some egg chasers stuff on your channel . A group of guys who lived tough lives I knew , were the bikers , look up a mad dude from the states name of Doug “the thug” Orr .RIP . KEEP EM COMING .
Never forget watching Chabal charge through opponents that hair flying with the beard, tremendous, great player. Nice one Matt you always reveal more about characters, really cool. Cheers.
I've heard people say what a good bloke Sebastian is, he seems a great bloke to have in your team,on and off the pitch. I remember watching Gerard Cholley in the 1970s, a physical beast of a man, he might have been the French army's heavyweight champion? The french had some terrifying forwards in those days. One man in particular, who would have played alongside Cholley, and played with Esteve at Bezieres, Michel Palmie, he was a dangerous man on the pitch, he was crazy, so much so the French rugby authorities banned him. Rucking in rugby was quite an experience in those days.
I’m a former American football player and never really watched this sport till this year when I watched the World Cup. I’m hooked. I love the passion of these players no show boating like the NFL. This is truly a Gentleman’s sport. 💪
Nice choice Matt and when it comes to rugby you know that there's many others who figured. Condolences to JP Williams 🙏 family, certainly a name to remember amongst the greats.
JPR was an absolute gentleman’ and an amazing doctor too. Not many people know this ‘ but I was one his patients 30 years ago’ and many others were too. He was also fantastic at tennis and cricket.
@@kevingeorge8203 Not very big by modern standards, but a rock of a man. He suffered some shocking foul play but got on with it, notably that stamp on his face by NZ prop John Ashworth, he was trapped on the floor and Ashworth ripped his cheek open with his boot. He went off, his father who was a doctor, stitched his face up, and he went back on. Says a lot about JPR, and Ashworth, he never even apologised, what can you say.
Played for 20 years. Got cracked in the head many times (punches, knees, heads), but it helps build character - & a sense of humour. Love the sport but love the camaraderie even more. Thanks for the brilliant vids!
There is a great story on I think Esteve where during a photo shoot the photographer asked him if he could lower his look. He then replied:”I only lower my chin when I take a piss!” Being a Frenchman I often heard of those guys and how brutal they could be on the pitch
All three tough guys with different personalities shows that you can be tough without having to act tough. Man they look scary , LOVE THE VIDEO, THE STORY and The choice of people.
Really enjoyed this video Matt. Enjoy watching Rugby and good watching about rugby hard men for a change, although I do like the boxing and fighting stuff as well. A video on the strong men (world strongest men series) would be good, especially the British men as it’s something I watch and a lot of them have a past working as doormen etc and moving in them circles. Just a thought but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Brilliant content as always 👍
Love content. I respect the tough athletes of 70s. Being from America I don’t watch lot of rugby and ur football but respect the men who play with heart. Thank you for both educational and entertaining vids. Just subbed. Will be watching all vids. First one was of Rooney. Was great. Congrats on getting in shape. I born in 71. Trying to do that myself. Look forward to content.
You got this Matt. Some of your peers are stuck on the true crime, which is fine but slightly restrictive. I think u r content& videos has always been solid & showing the eclectic side of ur personality is superb 👌 Please keep it up King 👑
Recommended vid and grateful for your video. 🙏Reminiscing of my 6th grade science teacher, Mr Vogel, who was active in rugby; he was brutally strong, intimidating but the most humble and kind man to this day. He got me started into love of doing sports and science. Liked your comparisons and I think functional power, athleticism and skill are lacking in most popularized sports. Spot on vid. 🤙…now to your next vid.
Great watching, as ever. Cheers. Hope you'll do a piece on 6ft 8 policeman and England legend Wade Dooley, who England forward Martin Bayfield described as "the most naturally violent man the game of rugby has ever seen".
@@mattlegg1976Wade Dooley by all accounts asked a referee not to send off a French forward who had kicked him in the head. He wanted to exact his own retribution. He broke the jaw of Welsh forward Phil Davies with one punch. Dooley was feared. Known as the Blackpool Tower.
Nah. Colin Meads would sort Dooley out back in the day. Those big NZ hill farmers were/are hard men. I'll give you a real hard bugger: Graham Price, Welsh prop. In my old opinion.
@@jameslast7555 Typically anyone playing for their nation is a cut above your common or garden "average" player, but then again this isn't about Bayfield, it's about Dooley. If you have never heard of Dooley, keep watching, as Matt has promised to do a slot on him.
Clicked to watch a video of 3 of the scariest men in rugby. Found myself watching Sebastian Chabal, in a banana suit, singing the Proclaimers. Great vid!
Bobby was a member of the only club front row to play for their country and the British Lions, the other two members being Charlie Faulkner and Graham Price. Fantastic trio of men.
Great Video Matt , love my Rugby, coached for a while in North Wales along with Football and Karate . Most of the Giants of Rugby are Gentlemen off the pitch . Had a mate Colin Sargent 6.3 50 inch Chest ex Welsh Guards lovely lad off the pitch Beast on it Played Prop soon as he pulled the Jersey on different Man 😂 Take care Matt hope your lad gets sorted with a job 👊👊
Jerry Collins is my all-time favorite player, he died in Beziers France with his wife at the age of 34 in a car accident. Their 3-month-old daughter survived the accident.
I'm not even into Rugby and got here because a buddy sent me a link to a Chabal comnpilation. TH-cam being TH-cam I got here and watched this little gem. Long story short, II want to say Thank You for uploading this video. Very informative and interesting, even for me. Me like. :)

AWESOME mate good to hear and good to watch the game developing in bed your way. You guys play it a n good spirit.
It does require and involve more strength of both character and brawn. Only minimal protection is offered against the inevitable knocks that a physical game ensures, too
@@sexobscura You've got to be a bit crazy and ugly too, that's where I excelled in rugby lol.
Very interesting thanks for sharing.
Salutations de France.
Rugby it is like American Football but for men...😉
I met Chabal in Toulon ... humble and down to Earth.... One has to admire people like him
I played in a game vs Esteve for Beziers. Esteve clocked me with a happily a glance!! A monster of a man with clubs in the area. With Michel Palmie 2 monsters that never took a step back.
