Mark Roberts is not an easy man to pin down when it comes to giving an interview. Family and work commitments, coupled with the fact that he was moving house, meant he was almost as difficult to get hold of as it was for international touring teams...Mark Roberts is not an easy man to pin down when it comes to giving an interview.
