Starting with UBB this Saturday in Vannes in the Top 14, Matthieu Jalibert left prematurely with a thigh injury. The international fly-half received an unintentional blow from Englishman Mako Vunipola.
To say the least, Matthieu Jalibert is going through a delicate period. Left out of the French XV before the match against New Zealand last week, he refused his reservist status and asked to return to his club, Bordeaux-Bègles. Thinking of bouncing back by finding his teammates and the game, it is not the case. On the go in Vannes this Saturday in a match shifted from the 10th day of Top 14, the number 10 of UBB experienced a nightmare.
Firstly because of Jonathan Ruru's try (5th), quickly giving the Bretons the advantage in the score. Shortly after, Matthieu Jalibert was the victim of an unfortunate incident of play. By receiving an involuntary blow from English pillar Mako Vunipola, the French international injured his thigh. He tried to grit his teeth to keep his place before facing the facts and leaving the Rabine pitch in the tenth minute of the match.
No information has filtered out as to the nature of the fly-half's injury. After giving way to Irishman Joey Carbery, he watched the proceedings from the substitutes' bench where helplessly he saw RCV crash four tries and lead 29-7 at half-time.
