The Gold Coast Titans fullback was called in to start after the captain's run in place of Seb Kris, and opened the scoring with a breakaway try.
Jones says he knew the 21-year-old was capable.
The Kiwis head to Sydney to face Toa Samoa in the final this weekend - Kris and Nelson Asofa-Solomona have both been ruled out with injury.
