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. His other cap came against the touring Springboks. He played in CA Brive's 1997 Heineken Cup final win over the Leicester Tigers.
