Jalibert was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a few miles west of Paris. He and his family lived in Noumea, in the overseas French territory of New Caledoniafrom 2004 and 2007, where his soldier father was stationed.
Jalibert joined CA Bordeaux Bègles on the family’s return to France. He moved up to the UBB (Union Bordeaux Bègles) as a teenager, and at 16 he played in the French under-18 championship, helping Bordeaux to the final.
Jalibert currently plays for Bordeaux Bègles in the Top 14.[1]
Jalibert previously represented France in the U20 Rugby World Cup.
Jalibert was called up to the French national team for the first time ahead of France's opening 2018 Six Nations Championship match against Ireland, aged only 19, after 15 league appearances for Bordeaux Bègles.[2][3] He started in that game but had to come off in the 29th minute for Anthony Belleau due to a serious knee injury, which required a head injury assessment, in an eventual 13–15 home loss.[4]
Jalibert has competed with Romain Ntamack for the French fly half position.
