The Northampton Saints, England and now British & Irish Lions No.10 will be going head-to-head with one of the most exciting fly-halves on the planet in Bordeaux-Bègles star Jalibert in a match which will be shown live on Premier Sports 1. It will be their first meeting since the Guinness Six Nations, when Smith earned Player of the Match honours at Allianz Stadium in his first Test start as England got the better of eventual champions France.

The former hooker is relishing the head-to-head on the wing between Tommy Freeman and Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who last went up against each other during England’s Six Nations win over France in February. On that occasion, Freeman towered above his jet-heeled counterpart to take a Fin Smith cross-field kick and score – a tactic Kayser wouldn’t be surprised to see Saints try and replicate at Principality Stadium in a clash being shown exclusively live on Premier Sports 1.

Looks like no Ntamack or Jalibert in New Zealand this summer Not a surprise for Ntamack, whose knee has been bothering him since he returned from an ACL tear A shame Jalibert also needs an arthroscopy A combination of Antoine Hastoy and Léo Berdeu set to share fly-half duties

Les Bleus, qui doivent défier la Nouvelle-Zélande lors de la tournée estivale, devraient s’envoler sans Romain Ntamack ni Matthieu Jalibert.

5 - Matthieu Jalibert assisted five tries for @UBBrugby against Vannes, just one week after Baptiste Jauneau assisted five for Clermont against Stade Français - previously no player had assisted as many in a @top14rugby match since Opta have recorded this data. Buses.

Lions call-ups are all about timing Interesting hypothetical, could a Matt Carley high tackle decision be the difference between Asher Opoku-Fordjour and Joe Heyes playing for the Lions?
