Across 58 matches Jalibert averages over eight carries per game, accumulating nearly 2,900 metres with ball in hand — a volume that speaks to a fly half who operates as a genuine running weapon rather than a pure distributor. His 18 tries across the dataset reinforce that attacking intent, while nearly 240 tackles tell a different story: this is a ten who works hard without the ball and is willing to put his body on the line. A peak of 23 carries and 166 metres in a single match shows that, on his best days, he can be the most influential carrier on the park.
