The 47-year-old can no longer remember all the matches he featured in and the memories that come with representing your country and also winning trophies.
“I can’t recall a single moment from any rugby match I ever played,” Chabal admitted in a conversation with Legend, a YouTube channel.
“I don’t remember a single one of the 62 Marseillaises [French national anthem] I experienced.
“My memory’s gone for good. There are a few fragments from childhood, but I suspect those come more from stories people told me than from my own recollection. It’s like my past just... vanished.
“When I talk to my wife about it, I tell her it feels like someone else played rugby in my place. I’ve always felt like a bit of a fraud like I stumbled into it all by accident. And now, with no memories left, that feeling’s only stronger — as if it never really was me out there.”
The French rugby legend also claimed he can't remember the birth of his child during the interview.
Chabal's submission about his memory loss came at a time in which legal action is being taken against the rugby sport, as the complainant accused the world governing body of the sport of not taking proper safety precautions to protect the players from severe brain injuries when engaging themselves while playing.

"Wow! The passage where he explains the discomfort he still has over the fact that someone has pointed out his ability to be enduring is terrible!! But so representative of the French mentality."

"I am very pleasantly surprised. Me who saw him as a bit boorish, closed off and who imagined him to have a bit of a melon because of his sporting career. I didn't expect to see such a humble and normal guy. He really seems like a nice old-fashioned guy like I might come across in my village."
