Roberts spoke 10 days ago, after the Australia game about his brother's presence at games at the Millenium Stadium and how it affects him.
He said: "My brother [was] working one of the pitchside cameras. I did my best to avoid looking at him but it’s very special having your family there for the big occasions."
