TOPS
Jalibert pattern size
The international opening half of UBB has done justice to his new status.
In a padlocked match, his kicking often turned the pressure around.
He was also very close to registering the only try of this padlocked quarter-final, failing only for a few centimeters (58th minute), ultimately winning 72 meters with the ball in hand, the best total of all the players in this quarter. final.
Matthieu Jalibert especially allowed his team to win by achieving an almost flawless role in his role as scorer with an 8/9 against the poles.
And a last crucial penalty of more than 50 meters to hit in the stoppage of the game.
Successful and explosion of joy.
“The team has been amazing.
I'm happy to reward them, ”commented the opener at beIN Sports.

Racing did not give up
Maxime Machenaud then Teddy Iribaren in the role of scorers;
the young Antoine Gibert who slams an authoritarian drop (14th minute).
The artificers of Racing have long delayed the deadline, responding blow for blow to the kicks of Jalibert.
Insufficient however, the last word going to Bordeaux.
FLOPS
Lack of rhythm and approximations
Those who had watched the quarter-final between Exeter and Leinster the day before, with insane intensity from the first to the last second, must have wondered if it was the same sport.
Between UBB and Racing, it was slow, messy, terribly boring.
No rhythm, very little chained playing time, a lot of indiscipline (thirty penalties whistled, 16 against UBB, 14 against Racing!) And many approximations: hand errors and imprecise touches (a very low 67% success on his throws for the Bordelais, 87% for Racing) ... A bad Top 14 match for a failed European quarter-final.
Cat still hurts
We have been playing for only 34 seconds at the Chaban-Delmas stadium when, in the first action, the Ile-de-France hooker Camille Chat injured his right leg during a collision on the ground with the Girondin rear Romain Buros.
The French international must leave the field, replaced by Teddy Baubigny, author of a big game in defense (17 successful tackles).
He will be seen in the stands with crutches.
Not a good sign for a player who has already experienced several physical problems this season.
In December, he had been shot in the arm, then a calf injury had caused him to miss the first matches of the Six Nations Tournament.
A kick start for Racing 92 which was already deprived, at kickoff, of its other Blues, injured and forfeits: Virimi Vakatawa, Bernard Le Roux and Teddy Thomas.
