That would be the same Matt Jones that made 23 appearances for Newport Gwent Dragons this season? Yes, he was clearly out of his depth in Nat 1 (as was)!

.....the Matt Jones who could not cut it at Moseley, London Welsh & Worcester. Not the one you referred to who warmed the bench for 17 out of the 23 squad appearances for the Dragons.

Maybe he just doesn't travel well?

Only 5 starts and 122 points. Can't possibly imagine why Dragons wanted him on board; he should definitely be no higher than, what, national 2 north?
I don't think we saw anything like the best of Matt Jones in his time with us, and regardless of how many of his 23 appearances were starts or off the bench that's 23 appearances at a higher level than eny of our other recent flyhalves have managed. I'm not advocating him coming back to the club; just think he's got a bit of a bad name with some at Mose which is maybe undeserved.
I was among many people who felt quite aggrieved at the timing and manner of Matt Jones' departure but I also know someone who used to live just round the corner from him and hearing his side of the story lends a somewhat different colour to the situtaion.
