Horne, who returned from injury off the bench to score a consolation try, described the performance as “just not good enough” and apologised to travelling fans.
He added on a club video: “We have set our standards higher than that and to put on a performance like that is just not acceptable for us as a squad and a club, and also for the fans as well.
“Look, we know we have a lot of work to do and we are going to do everything we can to come back better next year.
“We have a bit of time off now and we spoke as a group about how we have got to come back hungry and wanting to get better because we can’t have a repeat of that.
