Connacht made a disastrous start to their Challenge Cup campaign when they blew a 21-0 lead they built up after just 27 minutes in Bridgend.

Stuart Lancaster’s men seemed poised to have the bonus point in the bag by the break in tough conditions but failed to kill off the Ospreys challenge and paid the price in the end.
