How many strings does Jamie Roberts’ bow have?
As well as being one of Wales’ best rugby players over the last decade, the thirty-year-old is a qualified doctor.
On top of being a qualified doctor, who is in the middle of his masters in medicine, the rugby player is now in training to be a vet.
The 6 ft 4 in 17 and a half stone wrecking ball played for the British and Irish Lions in both 2009 and 2013, and Warren Gatland’s wounded Lions could certainly do with some assistance from vet Roberts after their first Test loss to the All Blacks.
Roberts has made 93 appearances for Wales in his career, scoring 12 tries.
Roberts, who was playing at centre during Wales’ narrow 19-17 win over Samoa on Saturday, jetted off to Sydney, Australia in order to pursue his veterinary career.
The Harlequins club man posted a picture of himself working on a dog in a veterinary surgeon’s operating theatre in the Northern Beaches, in New South Wales.

Roberts’ talents don’t end at being a vet, a doctor and a rugby player, no, he is also an adept guitarist as he proved when he played with the Manic Street Preachers during their Melbourne gig in 2013.
What a guy!
