Chris Masoe (born 15 May 1979 in Savaii, Samoa) is a New Zealand rugby union footballer and currently plays for Castres Olympique.

Masoe used to play for the Wellington Hurricanes in the Super 14. He appeared in all 11 Hurricanes matches in the 2005 season. He is capable of playing in all three loose-forward positions but has been concentrating on the openside flanker's role. Masoe has good pace and is a strong ball runner and a tough defender.

He has been a regular member of the New Zealand Sevens squad in the past and was a member of the 2002 Commonwealth Games gold-winning team.

On the night of the Super 14 final on 27 May 2006, former All Black captain Tana Umaga struck Hurricanes team mate Chris Masoe over the head with a woman's handbag, breaking her cell phone, after Masoe allegedly attempted to strike another patron. Masoe was fined $3000 by the NZRU as punishment.

In 2008, he signed a contract for French Top 14 team Castres Olympique. In 2010, he was selected in the French Barbarians squad to play Tonga on 26 November.

Sébastien Chabal, born 8 December 1977 in Valence, Drôme, is a French rugby union player. He has played number eight and lock professionally for the French team Bourgoin (1998–2004); the English team Sale Sharks (2004–2009); the French team Racing Métro 92 Paris (2009–February 2012); and the French national side. He earned his first international cap on 4 March 2000 against Scotland. He has represented France in 62 games scoring six tries; two against Italy in the 2007 Six Nations Championship; a match-winning try against England in the run-up to the 2007 Rugby World Cup; two against Namibia in the 2007 Rugby World Cup; and one against Italy in the 2009 Six Nations Championship. He is one of the most popular sportsmen in France, so much that local journalists write and talk about Chabalmania.

Chabal has played rugby union at the highest level for over ten years and has won the English Premiership with Sale, and the 2007 Six Nations Championship with France. He has also finished at fourth place at the 2007 Rugby World Cup. He is known for his full beard, long hair and ferocious tackling, leading the French rugby fans to nickname him l'Homme des Cavernes— the Caveman. With this look, he has a number of lucrative commercial contracts which has made him the highest paid French rugby union footballer since 2007.

He made his international debut for New Zealand aged 21, versus the British and Irish Lions in 2005.

In June 2006, his father, Charlie, resigned his position as head coach of the Manawatu team in the Air New Zealand Cup. Charlie McAlister is a former rugby league player, and Luke McAlister lived in the Manchester area from the age of four to 13 while his father played rugby league for Oldham, Castleford and the Sheffield Eagles, during which time Luke was a member of the Manchester United Academy.

Following the announcement of his inclusion in the All Blacks squad for the 2007 Rugby World Cup, it was announced on 23 July 2007 that McAlister would be joining Guinness Premiership side Sale Sharks after the World Cup on a two-year deal. It was also reported that he had turned down offers from both Munster and Toulouse to join Sale.
