Jones was capped six times for Wales and was the first player to score recognised international points for the national team His first match was against Ireland in the first meeting between the two countries. Although Jones scored a try, the conversion attempt was unsuccessful which meant that Jones is not recorded with a score.
Jones was reselected for the next two Wales games, the second match to England and the first match to Scotland.
Both under the captaincy of Charles Lewis and both lost. Jones was absent from the opening game of the inaugural Home Nations Championship, but was reselected for the second game of the tournament, against Scotland.
