Meanwhile, attendances for Premiership Women's Rugby, which was set up in 2023 are increasing, but there is still room for further improvement.
"I always back the Lionesses (England Women's football team), but I wouldn't say I follow a Women's Super League team. So I kind of get it from a fan point of view," Packer said.
"Have the clubs matched the same level of investment as the Red Roses? I don't mean players' pay; I mean backroom staff, sponsorship and marketing. "Until that's matched, we're probably not going to see the same level in my opinion."
On a positive note, Jones points to the ever-improving quality of player arrivals, with the likes of France centre Gabrielle Vernier joining Gloucester-Hartpury next season.
"I think it's outstanding. We've got every nation wanting to come and play here, and I think that's a compliment to the league and the RFU for what they are trying to push," Jones added.
"We can only keep putting the product on the pitch, performing on the pitch, doing what we do to get more bums on seats.
"The PWR league is the best league in the world, and we play the best rugby. It is growing."
A huge crowd is expected for what is, of course, a newish London derby.
Packer said: "It has only been three years, but I think this will be the start of the rivalry and the start of something special.
"The rivalry of Saracens and Harlequins only started when the women's league went professional, and we met in finals.
"For the London clubs it's 'Who wants to be the boss of the capital?' We've done it in the regular league; now it's about who wants to do it in the final."
Saracens v Trailfinders (15:00 BST)
Saracens play Trailfinders in the Premiership Women's Rugby final at Twickenham Stoop.
We are set for a new winner of the league for the first time since 2022.
Both London-based sides play an exciting brand of rugby. This should be a cracker.
