Welsh rugby may be endlessly looking for natural successors to heroes of the past but has an obvious heir in Max Llewellyn.
The Gloucester centre, the son of former Wales captain Gareth, is unabashed in his admiration of former Wales star Jamie Roberts.
He wears the same 12 jersey as the British & Irish Lion having also launched his career at the same club, Cardiff, and even attended the same high school in the city.
And at 6ft 3ins (1.96m) and 16st 4lbs (104kg), it is clear that Llewellyn can also walk the walk, wherever that may take him.
Little wonder then that Roberts has already tipped the 25 year-old to make a big impression at international level this season.
“Growing up, Jamie was always a role model given we play the same position and went to the same school.
“I look at the career he had, the places he went and the clubs he played for and I think that would be pretty exciting to do the same.”
