| Jones' performance was hailed as one of the greatest ever debuts for the Lions, as he scored one try, made another and impressed with his strong running throughout.
Woodward is set to name a Test back row containing Richard Hill, Neil Back and Martin Corry, but the Ospreys' flanker has surely played himself into contention for a bench spot.
Jones, summoned from Wales' tour of North America last week, had no trouble in finding his feet.
The Lions were made to work hard for their victory. Alarm bells sounded eight minutes before half-time when Otago centre Neil Brew brushed off weak tackles by Leinster's Denis Hickie and Charlie Hodgson to send scrum-half Danny Lee scampering over.
Fly-half Nick Evans' conversion - he finished with 14 points - put Otago 13-6 ahead and on course for a fifth victory over the Lions in seven attempts, stretching back to 1950.
But the Lions bounced back before half-time when centre Will Greenwood capitalising on a kind bounce from Hodgson's kick which allowed him to steal in between Otago defenders Glen Horton and Matt Saunders.
Hodgson's conversion made it 13-13 at the break, and the Lions impressively took charge after that.
In the second period, a bullocking run from Jones ended with his Welsh team-mate Williams scampering over to score another impressive try that effectively killed off the hosts.
