Matthieu Jalibert has been selected to start at fly-half for France against England in the Six Nations, following Romain Ntamack's suspension due to a red card. Coach Fabien Galthie emphasized that Jalibert was the clear choice after Ntamack's exit and noted that there is no ongoing conflict with the player. Additionally, Damian Penaud has returned from injury to start on the wing, bringing his impressive scoring record to the match. Galthie warned that England, despite their inconsistent results, should not be underestimated due to their ferocity.
When we saw Ntamack picked up a red card we started to work with the staff right away and Matthieu Jalibert was the obvious choice.
The power struggle is on the field, for us, Galthie said when announcing the match-day squad.
Penaud has scored 36 tries for Les Bleus and is only two shy of Serge Blanco's record.
Even if their results are not as good as they expected, they are often close and ferocious.
