WALES will not be content with what they have achieved so far, insists winger Mark Jones, who has been one of the successes of the World Cup so far, writes Robin Davey.

Some fear Wales shot their bolt against the All Blacks and will not be able to reproduce the performance which stunned not only New Zealand but the rest of the world as well when they take on England in Sunday's quarter-final.

But Jones, the Llanelli wing who hails from Builth Wells, will have none of that.

"It's been said we've achieved what we wanted," he acknowledged, but he added, "Once you go on a career development path, you set yourself new standards and you're constantly raising the bar.

"Expectations have risen after the New Zealand performance, it's knock-out rugby now so there is that pressure, but preparations have gone well and we've got to put it into practice on Sunday.

"We've been trying to get together this trip and it's about fine tuning now.

"We had a couple of days off earlier this week and we went to the Gold Coast.

"Everyone is on a high and we've got to focus and channel it for Sunday.

"Last week will probably go down as one of Wales' best performances. It was a massive step forward and it was nice to see all the hard work come to fruition, more for our own belief really.

"Things are starting to happen, but it's going to be a huge challenge against England and hopefully the performance will look after the result."

It was put to Jones that England have slipped from their recent high standards during the World Cup, pushed all the way by South Africa and Samoa.

But Jones countered: "England have been outstanding for the past two years, there is no decline, they are very experienced and there is no substitute for that.

"They've also got some young talent like Jonny Wilkinson and Mike Tindall, they're certainly not on the slide.

"With Jason Robinson and Ben Cohen as well, there is no doubt they've got some of the best attacking force in the world.

"They've got some great athletes, but this Welsh team is the fittest and strongest since I've been involved. We've been pleased with what we've achieved. We'll see where we are come Sunday."
