Last summer saw the Dragons, once again, progress to the final stages of the tournament at the Twickenham Stoop, which ended in the young squad lifting the silverware as Champions. Wales U20s captain Harri Keddie scored the winning try at the Stoop which meant the Dragons scooped up the title in the dying seconds of the match.
Looking forward to the Welsh leg of this year’s tournament, Jones commented; “It's a great tournament and we're really looking forward to it again this year.
“We know that our fellow Welsh clubs will be targeting us and it will be tough for us to get out of the group stage in Wales, so we have to focus on performing at the BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park on July 22nd - It's going to be a great night.
“All four of the Welsh teams will want to qualify to have a crack at the English clubs in the final - they are high quality sides and its very exciting for our developing players to come up against these star players and show what they can do against them.”
He continued; “I really enjoy 7s - it's a brilliant opportunity to go out and play with a bit more space and show your individual flair and particularly for some of our younger players to show what they can do in space.
“We've seen the growth of players like Harri Keddie who was excellent for us last year and did a great job with winning tries in both the semi-final and the final, and he's gone on to really progress well with Wales U20s.
“There are a couple more coming through including the likes of Lloyd Lewis who has made his Wales 7s debut and looks like an exciting player.”
