This would be a big disavowal for Matthieu Jalibert. At the start of the season, the opener of the Union Bordeaux-Bègles is walking on the water. Used in almost all matches, number 10 once again delivered a performance against USAP on the last day of the Top 14, notably scoring a double. With Romain Ntamack’s withdrawal for the start of the tour, everything pointed to the fact that Jalibert would have the favor of Fabien Galthié to occupy the position. NeverthelessRMC Sport confirms that the coach would favor the Thomas Ramos option.
Ramos at 10, Barré at 15?
The usual Stade Toulousain fullback regularly helps out at the opening and knows how to perform well. His experience of high-level matches and his status as a scorer would speak in his favor, at the same time as his complementarity with Antoine Dupont. He thus played the last two matches of the Six Nations Tournament in this position. With this in mind, Léo Barré would be placed at the back. If the scenario were to be confirmed, it would be a huge blow for Matthieu Jalibert and a worrying signal for the future. Especially since in the event of a 6-2 bench, the player could even be sidelined, victim of a lack of versatility. Response in the coming weeks.

To summarize
Matthieu Jalibert could suffer a big downgrade with the XV of France during the November tour, despite the absence of Romain Ntamack. Fabien Galthié would like to install Thomas Ramos rather than the Bordeaux player.
