Jalibert's volume in hand — nearly nine carries and close to 50 metres per match across 55 appearances — points to a fly half who drives the line rather than simply directing traffic from distance. His 18 tries signal consistent threat-line presence, while four-plus tackles per outing, peaking at 12 in a single game, reflects a willingness to engage in the defensive line that goes beyond the traditional ten's remit.
