Chabal prefers move to Japan

Sebastien Chabal has revealed he would relish the opportunity to play rugby in Japan, but admits he is far more likely to move back to France.

The 31-year-old back-row forward will leave Sale at the end of the season but so far hasn’t agreed a deal with any club.

However, the French international commented, “If it was just for me I would like to go to Japan, but my wife (has spent) four years here and now it’s time for me to go back to France for her.”

“I met a few clubs, but nothing is done yet.”
