 Despite the loss, Jenkins was part of the Monmouthshire County team that faced the same touring South Africans on Boxing Day 1906.Jenkins, along with captain George Travers, was one of only two players with international experience, and the team was further weakened after Newport refused to release their players after an argument over the venue.South Africa out-classed Monmouthshire, winning 17-0, and Jenkins himself gave away the second try after a loose kick.
