Video clip from the 2008 DVD of the making of the Dieux du Stade calendar

Chabal will face the English team this weekend. He knows a few them quite well: Chabal plays in the UK, for the Sale Sharks. His nickname is Seabass.

Here is the picture that very francophile Sun published this morning. Its tiltle was "French Monster Eats Babies".

Well, in the meantime, the English team is busy rehearsing a scene that they will play after meeting Chabal: healing their bruises an ice bath (see picture).

The second picture shows how the player changed from 2003 and 2007. He is only 28.

In TV interviews, Sébastien Chabal can be very shy. But scroll down to the video at the bottom of the article, and you will see what Chabal answers to journalist who wants him to answer a question in English.

Compare 2003 and 2007

Chabal scaring off the All Blacks

Why are people buying the calendar like mad? Well, one factor is certainly the Rugby World Cup, taking in place in France right now. Rugby fans from all over the world are probably buying the French Rugby Players’ calendar as a nice souvenir from France.

The other reason is the photographer’s talent: Steven Klein has managed to create a new style for the calendar, while keeping it erotic.

I have shot a video of me turning the pages of the calendar, one by one. As you will notice, there is not 12, but more than 30 big, all-color, superb photographs. It is so big that I even have a hard time flipping through it!  Get the calendar before everybody runs out of stock!

4/ Buy available Dieux du Stade calendars, books, and DVDs, and wait for the offcial launch in the US.

I have heard that the 2008 Dieux du Stade calendar should be released in the US in the coming weeks – I will do my best to keep you updated, as usual. Now, you could opt to wait for this release.

In the meantime, you can buy past Dieux du Stade related great stuff, such as the very revealing DVDs of the making of the calendars and the Dieux du Stade / Locker Room Nudes Book.

A part of the campaign is made of short online videos that try too hard at being funny. The gist is that a sleezy sports agent tries to get our rugby players to do the worst, so that he can reap a bigger profit out of them.

For instance, in the video below, the agent corners Sergio Parisse in the showers and tries to convince him to shoot a "sex tape video à la Paris Hilton". The agent tells Sergio:

" C’mon, pull down your briefs, it ‘ll only take 5 minutes".

What is actually funny is that Sergio does not obey his agent, in this video. But he does pull down his briefs in the 2008 Dieux du Stade calendar.

Will Sergio Parisse manage to keep his dignity intact?
