The future of Welsh rugby has been up for debate with questions over the make-up of the professional game and whether four regions can be competitive.
Cardiff and Ospreys are currently in the top half of the URC while Scarlets still have play-off ambitions, although Dragons are cut adrift at the bottom of the table.
“The regions have been competitive all season if you look at who they have beaten and where they have won,” said Jones.
“Three out of the regions are competing at the moment in Europe and the league, while Dragons are chipping away and doing their best, although things are not going their way at the moment.”
Jones has transformed the Ospreys since he took over the reins from Toby Booth in December, winning six and drawing one of eight games.
“There is always going to be negativity around Welsh rugby when the national team has lost 17 internationals,” added the former wing who won 47 caps for Wales.
“It is human nature but that does not mean there are not good rugby players being produced into the country.
“We are struggling to get a bit of cohesion together as a group and momentum.
“I am sure when we get that you will see these players moving forwards. Our jobs in the regions are to make sure we speed that up as quickly as we can.”
