Jones feeling right at home having left Blues behind

Sporting teasers are the life’s blood of many a barstool conversation so here’s one that will have rugby fans all over the country perplexed: When Felix Jones captained Munster in the Guinness Pro12 match against Treviso, was he the first Leinsterman to do so?

The 27-year-old former St Andrews College student doesn’t know, although he would like to believe his appointment to such a position is a demonstration of how well he has settled in a new environment.

“I’ve been accepted here since the moment I came down and I think if you ask a couple of the other guys, Keats [Ian Keatley] and Andrew Conway, they’d say the exact same,” said Jones.
