So how did Jamie Roberts spend his final day as a rugby player? Well, guess what, he spent it training with Wales. You really do have to wonder just who writes his scripts!
Just hours ahead of announcing his retirement, the 94-cap centre was back on duty with the national squad, helping them prepare for Saturday’s deciding Test against South Africa in Cape Town.
He had received the SOS call from head coach Wayne Pivac with Wales down on numbers after two bruising encounters with the Springboks. There could hardly have been a better or more fitting way to bring down the curtain on Roberts' illustrious career, with representing his country having meant so much to him.
