Roger Wilson Roger's durability at the highest level is unquestionable as is the consistency of his performance, the mainstay of the Ulster pack over the last five years Roger played in all 26 competitive games during the 2006/07 season and in doing so achieved his 100th Ulster cap in record time.

A powerful ball carrying No8 who consistently gets over the gainline from the base of the scrum and in general play his aggression at the breakdown, athleticism in the loose and physically abrasive tackling style have earned him the respect of team mates and opposition alike.

His inspirational, uncompromising style of play and tireless work ethic on the pitch earned Roger the honour of captaining Ulster.
Roger made his Irish debut in 2005, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Harry McKibbin and his two uncles, Harry Jnr and Alastair, who all represented Ireland.

The lure of the Guinness Premiership saw Roger sign for the Northampton Saints in 2008 where the quality and consistency of his performances quickly established himself as firm fan's favourite in his first season at Frankllin's Gardens
