Hard work pays off as Jones back in the groove

NINE months ago, Munster full-back Felix Jones was left to ponder his rugby future after a sickening and career-threatening injury in the Magners League clash with Connacht at Thomond Park.

Jones, 23, was involved in a collision that left him with a dislocated disc in his neck and he knew instantly there was something seriously wrong, even if he was able to move at all times afterwards.

Fast forward to the present and Jones is the picture of health, fit and raring to go as he proved in last week’s pre-season friendly against Gloucester at Musgrave Park.
