World Cup ‘not beyond’ fit again Felix

FELIX JONES is likely to make his first appearance of the year when Munster A travel to Shaw’s Bridge for today’s interprovincial clash with the Ulster Ravens (kick-off 3.30pm), and coach Anthony Foley believes he can use the match as a springboard for World Cup selection.

Jones, 24, has been dogged by injury since he signed from Leinster in February 2009, with just 12 senior Munster appearances under his belt.

In December 2009 he suffered a serious neck injury which put him out for the rest of that season, and though he made a full recovery, he was dealt another cruel blow last September when he ruptured his cruciate ligament in just his third game back.
