Ken Butler made a day trip to the Coventry Building Society Arena last Sunday as the proud coach and mentor to three members of the Ennis RFC alumni as they took their places in the match-day squad for Munster’s Champions Cup tie against Wasps.

But he was also there as the proud father of Tony Butler, who along with Conor Moloney and Ethan Coughlan was sprung from the bench late on in the province’s stirring and against the head 34-15 bonus-point victory.
