Jones, who arrived from Sale Sharks on a season long loan in December, first featured in the 11-6 win over the Dragons on Boxing Day. Tickets for the match, 5.30pm kick off, are selling fast with only terrace and family stand tickets remaining.

Speaking ahead of the match David Young said, “They are just ahead of us in the league so it’s an important game for both sides. It is also a game either team could win, but we are determined to get the right result to keep us in the title race.”


Over 43 clubs from the region will be attending the Regional Clubs Day match, and everyone who wears their club shirt to the game will receive £5 off voucher for the Blues versus Scarlets fixture which will be played at the Arms Park on Friday April 11th at 7.10pm.


Seven teams from the region will also be parading their trophies at half time having won national competitions during the 2006-2007 season.


At the Arms Park the Blues have lost just once since September: 10-11 to Edinburgh in the Magners League on January 4th, while Munster have won five of their last six games in all competitions.
