This is why tackle height has changed. I literally bumped into him in a post match Edinburgh function with my wife, who speaks excellent french, was struck dumb by the encounter and I still wind her up about it. He was phenomenal, this is rather tragic

Rugby star Sébastien Chabal won two Six Nations titles with France, reached a World Cup semifinal and played 62 times for his nation as a powerful forward.

But he does not remember any of it due to memory loss stemming from the concussions he sustained as a player.

“I don’t remember a single second of a rugby match I played. And I don’t remember a single one of the 62 Marseillaises (national anthems) I experienced,”
