JAMIE ROBERTS has gone from analysing action at the Six Nations to preparing to save lives after returning to the day job.
The rugby legend, 39, has begun working as a junior doctor since walking away from the sport.
Roberts famously joined the NHS frontline in the deadly fight against coronavirus in 2020.
And the Welsh icon has given a glimpse into his working life as he prepares to begin a new role in the trauma department.
In a post shared on X, where he was seen proudly wearing scrubs, Roberts said: “The day job.
“An enjoyable and challenging four months on General Surgery with the Colorectal team at the University Hospital of Wales.
“Loved spending time in theatre watching the surgeons do their thing. Next up, Trauma and Orthopaedics.”
Roberts decided to continue studying to become a doctor while showcasing his talent on the rugby pitch.
He graduated from Cardiff University’s school of medicine in 2013 before completing postgraduate degrees at Cambridge University and Loughborough.
And he began working as a junior doctor last summer as he continued his journey to become fully qualified.
But Roberts still found time in his schedule to take to our television screens in recent weeks.
The former centre, who spent time with the likes of Cardiff Blues and Harlequins before ending his career in 2022, worked as a pundit during the Six Nations.
He was pitchside as part of ITV’s coverage for a number of showdowns, including when England thrashed Wales last month.
And the race to be crowned Six Nations champions went all the way down to the wire.
France ended up clinching back-to-back crowns to break Irish hearts with a last-gasp win over England.
