In 2009, Roberts' still fledgling career on the field was
about to skyrocket as the British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa loomed. He was just a year into his
international career with Wales, with whom he had already won the 2008 Grand
Slam, but his reputation as a supremely-talented center had not escaped the eye
of Ian McGeechan.
The moment he found out he had been selected for that
thrilling Lions tour; he knew life would never be the same. Rugby fans can book

“I was 22, a young man who had come onto the Test scene with
Wales a year before and everything happened pretty quickly for me,” he told the
Lions site.
“I just remember being sat in the car with my best mate on
the day, which was April 21. And we sat there listening to the squad on the
radio and it was just an unbelievable feeling.
“I got out and danced around like a little kid and treated
myself to ice cream! I had a party at my house that night in Pontcanna in
Cardiff and invited all of my mates, and then also my PE teachers too.
“Those guys had played a hugely important role in my
development as a rugby player and so I thought it was only right they came round
to share a beer as well.” It was brutal," he added. "Still to this day, people talk about
that game and I say it was the most physical Test I have ever played."
They bounced back in the third to claim a Pyrrhic victory,
losing the series 2-1, with Roberts eventually being named man of the series,
despite not featuring in the final Test through injury.
Upon his return to these shores, Roberts knew almost
instantly just how highly his stock had risen. It was one day inside Lord's
cricket ground which cemented that in his head.
