creation of five regional sides who replaced the original Welsh clubs in the Celtic League. Jarvis moved back east to join the Newport Gwent Dragons regional side. He only spent a season with the Dragons where he found opportunities limited by highly capped South African international Percy Montgomery and Craig Warlow (although as always he still had a decent points record from games played). Move to Cornwall After nine years in Wales Jarvis decided to make the decision to move across the Bristol Channel to Cornwall where he joined the Cornish Pirates, an ambitious club plying their trade in the English second division, for the 2004–05 season. He made the decision partly due to pressure playing in Welsh rugby where for years he had been touted as the "next best thing" but had been unable to gain the international caps he had been expected to when he started his career.
