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.

    Marcell Coetzee talks about possibly returning for the semifinal

    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.

    Vern Cotter reflects on his side's recent turnaround in form

    HOW I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK MY STOLEN BITCOIN THROUGH (FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY.


    I would never have dreamed that a second could change everything. One minute, I am sitting in the café working on a project. The next minute, my laptop is gone-took in two seconds. That was not merely a device being stolen. On that laptop, my entire future financial life-some $630,000-worth of Bitcoins-was located. I refused to believe that just the first moment it had happened, and I began a crazy search all over the café, as if I'd misplaced it. But deep down, I knew it: It was gone. The realization hit like a punch to the gut. Not only had I lost my most important work tool, but I had also lost years of careful savings.

    Then, panic hit. I hadn't ever backed up my wallet. The thought of losing it all made me feel physically sick. My mind raced through all the things I could have done differently, all the ways I could have prevented this. But regret wouldn't bring my Bitcoin back.

    Desperate, I began searching for solutions. That was when another designer spoke about Folkwin expert Recovery. The first thought that came into my mind was, could anyone actually recover stolen cryptocurrency? But I reached out because I had no other options.

    From the very first conversation, I knew I was in the right hands. Their team wasn't just professional; it was really very understanding. They never made me feel silly because I didn't have a backup. They only reassured me, explaining each step of the recovery process to me. They had dealt with cases like mine before and were determined to help.

    The waiting period was excruciating. There were days when I lost hope, convinced my funds were gone forever. But the Folkwin expert Recovery team kept me updated, using advanced blockchain tracking and forensic tools to trace my stolen assets.

    Then, after weeks of work, I got the call—they had recovered my Bitcoin. The relief was indescribable. It felt like getting my life back.

    They not only helped me recover my money but also, beyond that, they improved my security: through their app providing real-time security alerts, encrypted backups, anti-theft, of which I had no idea.

    This experience taught me a hard lesson about digital security, but it also showed me that even the worst situations can be turned around with the right experts. I owe them everything at Folkwin expert Recovery, and if you ever find yourself in the same nightmare, don't hesitate to reach out to Folkwinexpertrecovery (@) tech-center (.) com , Whats-App: +1 (740)-705-0711 for assistance.

    Regards,

    Mis Louise Hayward.
