Connacht captain Jarrad Butler said they have only themselves to blame after leaving themselves with so little wriggle room heading into the business end of the URC campaign.

Connacht are four points adrift of a quarter-final spot with the Bulls, currently eighth, having a game in hand over them. Ospreys are also two points clear of Andy Friend’s men, who now need a series of results to go their way if they are to make it to the Champions Cup next season.
