Jalibert kicks Bordeaux-Begles past Stade Francais
France fly-half Matthieu Jalibert kicked all Bordeaux-Begles' points as they beat Stade Francais 15-10 at home in the French Top 14 on Saturday.
Jalibert, 23, the understudy to Romain Ntamack for Les Bleus, slotted five penalty goals as his club claimed their second win of the season.
Georgia prop Giorgi Melikidze crossed in additional time to claim a losing bonus points for the Parisians.
In heavy rain at Stade Chaban-Delmas the home side led 6-3 at the break as Jalibert converted two shots at goal either side of Leo Barre's 25th-minute effort from the tee.
Jalibert then added two further penalties before replacement Melikidze crashed over in the 85th minute.
