Jenkins and Jones both completed moves, before flying out with with Wales to Argentina tonight.
Robert Sidoli, who has been ruled out of touring with Mike Ruddocks squad with the niggling groin strain that has marred season also follows fellow lock Jones to the Arms Park.
On only the day after their regions official demise, a total of twelve ex-Warriors officially signed deals with Cardiff Blues and Newport Gwent Dragons.
Gethin Jenkins's move to Cardiff is possibly an indication of a likely move to tighthead, should the Blues persist with highly promising John Yapp in the number one shirt.
With such a week second row, Robert Sidoli should easily be first choice. However Deniol Jones may not be able to command a starting spot straight away, depending on whether or not Craig Quinnell regains his past form and fitness.
Other signings have clearly been made before the Warriors were stripped of their assets. Shaun James and Matthew Nutthall have rarely featured other than when internationals have been absent, and were set to be released as Leighton Samuel reduced the outfits wage bill.
A lack of cover due to injuries and international periods cost Cardiff dearly last term and with the trio of van Vuuren, Muller and Allen all leaving, the Blues have acted to add greater depth to their back line.
Former Llanelli and Neath player Tristan Davies is another signing. Davies who has been somewhat rejuvenated by three seasons with Leeds Tykes in the Zurich_Premiership, with the ability to play at both inside and outside centre, although far from spectacular, at 29 looks a solid buy.
Neil Jenkins's former "sand boy" Lee Thomas returns to his home town club after an impressive season at Pontypridd, with an impressive boot.
Another player to play for both Pontypridd and the Warriors, flanker Mark Lewis joins to try and bolster a soft blindside however it is an area the Blues remain fairly exposed in. Whether or not they look at trying to sign Richard Parks or Corry Harris and look to them as viable blindsides, opposed to open sides remains to be seen.
