Here is your hand:
♠J4
♥J7652
♦97432
♣7
Playing matchpoints and no one is vulnerable.
Partner was Dealer and opened the bidding 1NT. Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) bid 2♣ (showing ♣ only). What is your call?

How about "Pass"?
When Partner opened the bidding 1NT you were definitely going to make a Jacoby Transfer bid of 2♦ and then "Pass" Partner's 2♥ response. (Or you would have bid 2♥ to play.)
But the Opponents entered into the bidding. You no longer have to rescue Partner from their NT bid. The Opponents did that.
Now you CAN bid (if you want) but I might not. You have a pretty bad suit and Partner might only have two of them. On the other hand you do have two five card suits and it's an aggressive game these days.
Hey, IF you do decide to bid do you know how to bid the ♥ suit? Would transfers be on? Have you and your Partner talked about that? Best check to make sure you are both in agreement!
Pass
