Stuart Lancaster endured a difficult night on his return to Dublin, his Connacht side coming out on the wrong side of a 52-17 mauling at the Aviva Stadium.

He enjoyed many nights on the right side of that type of scoreline during his seven years at the helm of Leinster and admitted he found the experience on the other end of the eight-try defeat difficult.
