Jamie Roberts born 8 November 1986 in Newport, Wales is a rugby union player for Cardiff Blues in the Magners League.

Jamie Roberts' position of choice is as a fullback, but normally takes his place on the wing for Cardiff Blues, with Ben Blair as first choice in the 15 jersey. He made his debut starting on the wing for Wales against Scotland at the Millennium Stadium on 9 February 2008. He scored his first try for Wales in a defeat against South Africa in June 2008. In the following match, also against South Africa, he was suprisingly selected at inside centre.

He was educated at Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf, and is currently studying Medicine at Cardiff University. [ [http://www.cardiffblues.com/476_496.php Cardiff Blues : Jamie Roberts ] ]
