LW 100: Jacob Butler

Jacob joined London Welsh after the Covid outbreak when he moved to London to work in advertising.

A Monmouth boy through and through, who’s first love was initially football until he was taken to Abergavenny RFC at the age of 10. He then played all the way through the age groups, even when he attended Monmouth Boys School where he played against some of the best schools in England. Post school and some time in Australia, he attended Liverpool University where he captained their rugby team in his final year.

He had quite a unique experience playing for Abergavenny in the Principality stadium and is keen to play for then again with all his brothers. He gives a glowing reference to how the Careers Hub at the club helped him settle into working life in London and how the club has become a home from home for him in London.

We also touch on what it was like growing up knowing your dad had been captain of Wales and then always on the TV during the 6 Nations.

A great guest to mark the 100th episode. Enjoy
