Jamie Roberts say Wales will be primed for Rugby World Cup

Jamie Roberts has no doubt that an extended preparation period will help Wales arrive at the World Cup later this year in prime physical and mental shape.

Wales head coach Warren Gatland is set to announce a World Cup training squad in early June, then an intense build-up will feature training camps in Switzerland, Qatar and Poland, plus warm-up Tests against RBS 6 Nations champions Ireland (twice) and Italy.

“We work as hard as anyone in a World Cup build-up,” Wales centre Roberts said.
