Llanelli Scarlets go into Sunday's Round 4 match against London Wasps knowing they are still in with a chance of making the final eight of Europe's toughest rugby competition.
The victory at a fog-shrouded Stradey Park keeps the Scarlets in the qualifying mix though they now face successive away challenges at Wasps on Sunday and then Edinburgh Gunners in Round 5 in 2006.
"We are in with a shout but it has always been, and still is, a hugely difficult group from which to qualify," said Scarlets coach Nigel Davies.
"As far as we are concerned, it is only half a job done. It will need the same sort of performance - or one even better - at Wasps on Sunday.
"Things are now looking difficult for Wasps in the Pool but they have been hurt by our win and will want to get something back out of the return fixture and show everyone what they are capable of producing.
"I can see them coming out pretty hard at us and we will have to be at the top end of our game, but that is the challenge for us to meet."
The Stradey Park showdown was always going to as good as end the Heineken Cup hopes of one team for another year and Davies accepts that the Scarlets came good when it really mattered.
"It certainly was a big performance - but then we always knew that it would need that if we were to stay in touch in the group," he said.
"The display was probably 10-times better than the one the previous week against Sale Sharks and naturally we are delighted with that improvement.
"The boys will now have two days off and that still leaves us the time to prepare for the trip to the Causeway Stadium.
"The bottom line is that we have to go to Wasps next weekend and then Edinburgh in the new year and try and get results there before taking on Toulouse at Stradey Park. There is still an enormous amount of hard work to be done."
