His positions of choice were centre three-quarter and second five-eighth. Roberts did not play in any test matches as New Zealand did not play their first until 1903. Early yearsRoberts was born in the suburb of Taita, Lower Hutt, in Wellington. He was known by the nickname "Cocky".[3][4] He was educated at Mount Cook School, Wellington.[3][4] Playing careerRoberts played for three clubs in total, during a career which spanned more than a decade. He made his provincial debut for Wellington as a 17-year-old.[3][4] In 1896, Roberts played in the game for Wellington against the touring Queensland team. This game was won 49–7 and Roberts scored three tries.[3][4] Roberts was then selected for the national side, in what was named an "unofficial" test against the Queensland visitors. This game was won 9–0. The next year, he played in the 1897 North against South Island match.[4] He played an outstanding game and it was shock that he was not chosen immediately to tour Australia. However, he was later called into the squad as an injury replacement.[3][4] He played the last six tour matches and this included scoring three tries in the second fixture against New South Wales.[3] After the tour the team played the Auckland provincial side when they returned to New Zealand. The All Blacks lost 11–10. During the post-match gathering, Roberts and teammate Joe Calnan were suspended from playing any level of rugby for two seasons due to inappropriate behaviour.[3][4] He never appeared for the national side again but continued playing club and provincial rugby until 1903.
