Jones has witnessed first-hand Wales’ transition into professionalism and was part of the 2023 squad which rocketed up to an all-time high of sixth in the world rankings.<\/p>\n

But since then Wales have been on a worrying downward trajectory, with Lynn failing to make an impact on results since he came in from Gloucester-Hartpury.<\/p>\n

“Winning becomes a habit, but I also think losing becomes a habit, and we sort of fell into that habit of losing – not that we were ever happy or accepted it – but that belief just disappeared,” said Jones.<\/p>\n

“We’ve obviously had our struggles, as probably other nations have, but something feels different.<\/p>\n

“Our attack is completely new, our defence is completely new, everything is new, but it’s given us that kick of excitement.<\/p>\n

“I truly believe this campaign is going to set us up to become a winning team.<\/p>\n

“That belief is there, it’s such a feel good factor. I can’t stop smiling – I know that’s not new because I can’t stop smiling anyway – but the cohesion is probably the best it’s been in a long time.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
