The Bordeaux-Bègles Union is taking advantage of the windfall. To everyone's surprise, Matthieu Jalibert experienced a significant downgrade with the XV of France. Expected in the starting fifteen after his thunderous start to the season and in the absence of Romain Ntamack, injured in the calf, the fly-half had to be content with a place on the bench against Japan. Left out of the match sheet against New Zealand, he preferred to return to Gironde rather than accept the role of reserve. In the process, Fabien Galthié decided to do without his services to challenge Argentina during the last meeting of this November tour.
Jalibert should start against Vannes
If he assured that the door for his return to the French team was not closed, the coach no longer seems to be counting on Jalibert. While the Top 14 is back in action this weekend, Yannick Bru has decided to get his opener back into action. He will start for the UBB trip to Vannes, as reported The Team. He will try to forget his bad patch in the selection and allow his club to get a precious away victory.
