(Reuters) - Bitter memories of a dramatic penalty shootout semi-final defeat still linger for Wales centre Jamie Roberts who would dearly love to go all the way in Europe with Racing Metro this season.

Roberts was a Cardiff Blues player in 2009 when the Welsh region's hopes of a first appearance in a European final were cruelly ended by Leicester Tigers after a thrilling clash had finished 26-26 after extra time at the Millennium Stadium.
