Jones looks set to return for Munster

Felix Jones, the Munster and Ireland full-back out of action since last August, is set to return to competitive rugby later this month.

It is understood that the 24 year-old Dublin native has recovered full fitness from the ankle ligament injury sustained in his first start for Ireland against England at the Aviva Stadium on August 20 that cost him his place in the World Cup squad.

Jones was set to feature for Shannon in Saturday’s All-Ireland League game against Lansdowne on Saturday except that it is being played on the all-weather pitch at the Aviva and Munster weren’t prepared to take any further chances with his fitness.
