 Jones scored all the Scarlets' points at Thomond Park |
Fly-half Stephen Jones says he sees better times for the Scarlets after the 22-13 loss in Munster ended any Heineken Cup hopes held by his side. "We can take positives from it, we'll stay honest to ourselves and work hard to raise standards," said Jones.
"We have a big local derby coming up against the Ospreys on 27 December so we need to work on our weaknesses."
The Scarlets are without a point after losing all four of their Heineken games and are also out of the EDF Energy Cup.

But they lie fourth in the Magners League, four points behind leaders Leinster.
That increases the importance of the big Christmas derby fixtures against the Ospreys and the Dragons.
The Scarlets travel to Connacht on 4 January, before playing out the rest of the Heineken Cup group stages with a trip to Wasps and the visit of Clermont Auvergne.
"Those are still two huge games where Wasps and Clermont have everything to play for," said Wales and Lions star Jones, who scored all the Scarlets' points at Thomond Park. "We'll be giving everything.
"It's an exciting competition, so all you can say is that it is really disappointing to be where we are in the group."
