Just five months after bombing out of the World Cup, Wales are now on the brink of sealing the RBS 6 Nations title and will be playing for the Grand Slam when France visit the Millennium Stadium next Saturday.

Jones said: "You can't put moments like that into words. It was fantastic. Very few people get to do it. I am proud and privileged."

He added: "The most important thing was doing it on behalf of the other boys. Individual performances and memories don't mean anything - it is the fact I got to represent those boys.

"I wish we could have all gone up because it was impressive to look out over 73,000 people and hear the cheer go up."

Wales' achievement is in stark contrast to their disappointing World Cup campaign last autumn.

"No one came back from the World Cup more disappointed than the players," said Jones.

"But that has gone. It is in past. We made a conscious effort to wipe the slate clean and start again.

"We have worked hard and moved on. It was bitterly disappointing not to be involved in the World Cup (through injury). This is my World Cup."
