The Men of Gwent ended a three-game losing streak in fantastic style with a win over the Welsh Region in the LV=Cup, moving them into second place in their Pool.

Jones commented: “Our tactics paid dividends, we were very accurate in the first half and our error count was extremely low.

"It was a really good performance and we will be a little bit more confident for Munster. We pulled together, played as units and as a team and we were very effective in what we did.

"It's good to have Tyler Morgan, Ashley Smith, Ross Wardle and Cory Hill back from injury and it's no accident that when you get your best players back you play better as a team."

Looking forward to the game against Munster, Jones acknowledged it won't be as easy, “On Friday we will have few chances and they will be sterner opposition, so we will just have to fight harder because we will get rewarded less.

"Teams like Munster, the Ospreys, Leinster and Glasgow understand how the Celtic League fixture list draws out over a year and prepare well in advance with a good backbone of overseas players to carry them through these periods."
