France No10 Matthieu Jalibert confirms his season is over

Bordeaux-Begles fly-half Matthieu Jalibert has been ruled out of the rest of the Top 14 season, he has confirmed on social media.

The 25-year-old left the field in the final ten minutes of Bordeaux’s comprehensive victory over Oyonnax at the Stade Chaban-Delmas in the final round of the Top 14 season, for what is now being reported as a torn hamstring following tests.

Though Bordeaux secured third place in the league with their 40-7 victory, it was a Pyrrhic victory in some way, as they will now be without their No10 for the business end of the season, which begins with their home quarter-final against Racing 92 on Sunday.

Though it is not ideal for the French outfit, they have managed without Jalibert at times this season, most noticeably against Saracens in the Investec Champions Cup round of 16, where they registered a 45-12 win over the English giants without the 33-cap international.

This is an injury report that obviously will concern France head coach Fabien Galthie as well. Though it has only been revealed so far that Jalibert will miss the remainder of Bordeaux’s season, France begin their two-match series with Argentina, with a match against Uruguay in between, a week after the final.

Jalbiert’s absence for Bordeaux likely indicates that he will be unavailable for Les Bleus as well.

Fortunately for France, first-choice No10 Romain Ntamack is fit and firing again having missed both the World Cup and the Six Nations, where Jalibert deputised for him.

Jalibert wrote on Instagram: “My season is over with a torn muscle.

“It’s hard to accept when you put your all in to live this kind of moment.

“We have worked a lot collectively and individually to be where we are.

“Sometimes life is unfair, but thats the law of sport.

“The most important thing remains this end of the season for the club and our supporters.

“3 matches to reach our dream.

“I have a lot of confidence in the team, and I will be their number one supporter.

“Thank you for your support,
Your love makes us stronger.”

Top 14 finalists won’t play in summer tests so it is unlikely Ntamack will be part of it.

As For Jalibert, afaik he didn’t really have a break since RWC (except for his other injury during 6N). Too much playtime maybe. The worse is that he should have started on the bench, but LBB’s last time injury decided otherwise.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
