Jones was capped six times for Wales and was the first player to score recognised international points for the national team.
Jones was educated at Blundell's School in Tiverton and came to note as a member of Newport, and was first selected to represent his country at the age of 19.
Wales were beaten by Scotland again, and Jones missed the last game of the Championship to Ireland.
Now under the captaincy of Charlie Newman, Wales lost against England, but drew the game to Scotland.
After the end of his playing career, Jones continued his link to Newport Rugby Club, becoming the club secretary, and later seeing his son represent both Newport and Wales.
