Jones enjoying his new home away from home

SOME observers believe Munster pulled off a masterstroke last season when they lured Felix Jones away from his native Leinster.

The 22-year-old former Seapoint and Old Belvedere full-back or wing has a reputation as a very serious talent, which he proved as a key man in the Irish team that completed the U20 Grand Slam a couple of years ago. He doesn’t think his new employers stole him from Leinster, though.

“I certainly wouldn’t call it stealing,” he says. “The decision was up to myself and I just thought it was in my best interests to come down here. So far, I’ve been given a fair opportunity in the first few games.
