Author of a great performance with the Union Bordeaux-Bègles, once again, Matthieu Jalibert approaches a certain Antoine Dupont.
The Bordeaux-Bègles Union was largely a favorite of its match against Vannes last weekend. The European champions logically dominated the red lantern in the ranking (59-28) to ensure the direct qualification for the semi-finals of the Top 14. But we can say that the men of Yannick Bru made the show.
Within the UBB’s supersonic attack, Matthieu Jalibert still did wonders. In a very large form, the Girondin opener delivered no less than five assists during this meeting, to send his accomplices Damian Penaud, Louis Bielle-Biarrey and Nicolas Depoortère in promised land.
Five assists in a match, it is a extremely rare performance in Top 14, even if the Clermontois Baptiste yellowauau had done the same … during the previous day.
Jalibert soon with Dupont
After the 26th day and last day of Top 14, Matthieu Jalibert Point at the top of the decisive smugglers’ classification with 16 offerings. The total even rises to 27 all competitions. And he could have been higher if Fabien Galkié had offered him more than two selections with the XV of France this season.
To locate a little, the reference Antoine Dupont had delivered 28 assists during the 2022-2023 and 30 season in 2023-2024. There remains at least one match (the semi-final of the Top 14) and perhaps two, with the final, so that Jalibert can equal it or exceed it.
