Author of a high-class season, is Matthieu Jalibert located in terms of planetary references at his post? A player gives his opinion …
“I don’t have the words to express the season that is doing Matthieu Jalibert. »» Before crossing the UBB route in the top 14 semi-finals, Paolo Garbisi, the Toulon opener, was very complimentary to his vis-à-vis, amazing throughout the season with Bordeaux-Bègles.
“With the selection and the Top 14, I faced almost all the best at my post, had added the Italian international. If I have to quote the best attackers in the world, he will be at the top of the list. »»
So where is Jalibert in the hierarchy, among the n ° 10 on the planet? The question was also asked another specialist in the post, Bayonnais Joris Segonds. After facing Jalibert in Top 14 with rowing, Segonds challenged the Beauden Barrett reference in July with the XV of France, during the Blues tour in New Zealand. Verdict?
Jalibert or Barrett?
“This season, Matthieu Jalibert was on another planet. He wandered in Top 14 and in Champions Cup. That being posed, it is obvious that Beauden Barrett, it is the class and now that I faced it, I am all the more convinced”replied Segonds in the columns of Midi Olympique.
“Evolving at this level at 34 and after twelve years of international career is something, anyway … I also wanted to exchange my jersey with his after the first test. I will supervise it; He will have a great place at home. »»
