Jarrad Butler: ‘Little passes’ are letting Connacht down

Back-row Jarrad Butler is keen to correct the course of Connacht’s season this weekend following two losses from three games.

Butler signed for the province during the summer from Super Rugby side Brumbies, and he has made a considerable impact on the openside flank, but there is a realisation that the pressure is on to claim a third home win in a row against Cardiff.

Last weekend’s loss to Dragons was a big setback for new coach Kieran Keane, especially as they had recovered well from their round one loss to Glasgow Warriors with a bonus-point victory over Southern Kings.
