Jamie Roberts is not only a brilliant rugby player. In this period of health crisis due to the coronavirus, the Welsh center, 94 times international with the XV of Leek, decided to use its medical degree obtained in 2013 to volunteer with the British National Health Service (NHS). Returning from South Africa, where he plays for the Cape Town-based Stormers franchise, he took service in Cardiff a few days ago.

"During those early days, I saw how hard people work," he told Wales Online . I have never worked in the clinic, of course, and I will not do complicated acts. But I think I can bring an extra pair of hands and an extra brain to help solve problems. "

Roberts is there to motivate the troops and ensure communication between services and to the outside. "With a medical background, that necessarily helps," he observes. I am ready to do anything to participate in the collective effort. "
