“When I made the decision in 2014 that was the time England had just won the World Cup, it was really positive. It was the best leap I’ve made,” said Jones.

“It’s easy to live in the past, but I probably would make the same decision now. It’s allowed me to grow in huge ways.”

Wales face England at Ashton Gate having lost at home to Scotland in their Six Nations opener and are winless across their past four matches.

Lleucu George missed a 79th-minute conversion which would have secured a draw for the hosts, but Jones still feels Wales are moving in the right direction.

“You look at how competitive that match was, they’re closing the gap on us 100%,” she added.

“They’ve got threats all over the park. A lot of the focus will be on England and what we are going to do. But there are key players who we have to keep in their box.”
