Chabal sings Baritone with a narrow range. Most pop songs are for Tenor or high tenor/ Altos and require control on the high register.
Something like Lou Reed's Perfect Day or Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild or Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine or Billy Idol's White Wedding or Billy Joel's Piano Manwould suit his voice
Geez if he released an album of those bangers I'd be first in line to buy !
I often looked at Chabal when he was playing and wondered if he was "all there"
These latest antics have done nothing to clear this query up.

Almost any AC DC song would be perfect. If I was Chabal's manager I would have him belting out "Back in Black"
Now you’re just being silly, as if Chabal could match Brian Johnson or the late Bon Scott at their absolute finest.
Of course in terms of singing it extremely low and off key and sounding very much like a second language then the caveman is your guy.

Sione Molia has been ruled out after sustaining a shoulder injury in Hong Kong, Akuila Rokolisa replaces him while Amanaki Nicole has been called in as the travelling reserve.
Head Coach Clark Laidlaw said the team was disappointed in Hong Kong last weekend. “We have shown that when we win a quarter-final we are good enough to go all the way so to lose that was massively disappointing. “We’ll be better for it. We had four players coming back from injury that got valuable game time behind them and have trained well this week. We are clear on what makes our game work so need to make sure we put that on the field.”

@Machpants Spain is a much underrated team; apparently also by you? They won bronze at the last two tournaments, and also finished 5th twice this year. The only reason for their low ranking (11th) in the standings is that they finished 12th and 10th in Cape Town and Sydney. They are an up-and-coming nation that has already beaten several of the better teams. The AB7s should have beaten them, but I don't see the arrogance. We've had a lot of injuries, and for several of the players that returned from injury in Hong Kong, it was their first tournament in a long time.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy with how they have been playing lately; it has been lacklustre at times, but I don't think that there's a single grain of arrogance in it. Maybe underestimating some of their opponents, but that's all IMO.

53 - 0
That's a good response after having lost to them previously.

FT: NZ 53 - 0 Spain
Great game; the AB7s look hungry. Hope that continues. They starved Spain of the ball. It's a pity they don't keep stats of these games, but the AB7s had almost all of the possession I think Spain only had the ball three or four times in the whole game.

The AB7s just beat Samoa 26 - 22. That means they finish top of their pool.
Their Cup QF is tomorrow at 4.14pm. Opponent TBC.
Good win. I saw we were 17-0 down at half time.
