Born in Périgueux, Labrousse was a back-row forward, most often used as a number eight. He captained CA Périgueux to the French Group B championship title in 1993, before linking up with CA Brive, from where he was capped twice for France in 1996. On his international debut, a win over Romania at Aurillac, he crossed over for two tries.[1] His other cap came against the touring Springboks. He played in CA Brive's 1997 Heineken Cup final win over the Leicester Tigers.[2]
Labrousse coached CA Périgueux from 2005 to 2010, then again in 2014.[3][4]
