In a nation of rugby heroes, Jamie Roberts has become a legend.
Jamie Roberts is your quintessential hard man: a 6 foot 4, 17 stone
slab of rippling muscle, conditioned to run hard into other huge
men in an arena where physical dominance is the prime currency. Yet
away from rugby, he's a mild-mannered and thoughtful man - a
qualified doctor with a thirst for knowledge and a curiosity about
the world around him. It's an intriguing contradiction. In his
first full season with the Cardiff Blues he was picked by new Wales
coach Warren Gatland in the Grand Slam-winning side of 2008. He was
still establishing his position in the national team when he toured
with the 2009 Lions, emerging as Player of the Series. He went on
to win 97 Test caps and play for clubs in Paris, London and Cape
Town, yet his career has seldom been straightforward. A fractured
skull was one of many injuries he had to overcome, and from the
start he had to juggle the competing demands of university life and
professional rugby. The joy of Six Nations success with Wales was
balanced by heartbreak in the World Cup and disappointment against
southern-hemisphere teams, while major trophies at club level
proved frustratingly elusive. In this colourful and frank account
of a sterling career, Jamie Roberts reveals all about life on tour,
in boot camps and in dressing rooms filled with
once-in-a-generation characters such as Mike Phillips, Andy Powell,
Shaun Edwards, Martyn Williams, Brian O'Driscoll and Johnny Sexton.
He also shares his views on concussion in rugby, the failings of
the professional structure in Wales and the vital role of
old-school team-bonding.
