Fabien Galthié communicated, on November 17, the list of 42 players summoned to prepare for the November 22 meeting against Argentina. As expected, Matthieu Jalibert was not selected while Toulouse Pierre-Louis Barassi joined the group.
The end of the controversy. Doubt had hovered since Friday November 15 as to the presence of Matthieu Jalibert in the France team group for the preparation of the test match on November 22 against Argentina.
The Union Bordeaux-Bègles (UBB) player expressed his desire to return to recharge his batteries with his club after understanding that he would not be on the scoresheet for the match against New Zealand (30- 29), and even decided to return to Bordeaux directly.
Faced with Jalibert's decision, the coach of the XV of France Fabien Galthié did not go into detail and did not retain the opening half. He should be ready to face Vannes in the Top 14 next weekend. At the same time, Toulouse Pierre-Louis Barassi returned to the group following the injury of his teammate Paul Costes. He could celebrate his fourth selection against Argentina.
