Visibly hit in the left ankle, Jalibert could therefore forfeit the “Crunch”. To replace him on the bench, the staff have several options: call on the back Melvyn Jaminet (Thomas Ramos who can evolve at the opening) or launch the opener Antoine Hastoy (La Rochelle), currently third in the hierarchy of numbers 10. During Wednesday’s session, the first option was worked on in training.
