"I am satisfied with our result last Saturday - and the performance," said the 37-year-old Stade Francais fly half who kicked 16 points in the Pool 1 defeat of Leicester Tigers to take his Heineken Cup points record to the 568 mark.
"At the moment I am playing with 20-year-olds which is priceless. It is a fresh challenge which I am relishing.
"Saturday's performance against Leicester was important for two reasons.
"Firstly, Leicester Tigers are a reference point in European rugby and we respect them hugely.
"And secondly, there is the small matter of the 2001 Heineken Cup final which we lost to the Tigers here in Paris. I still haven't swallowed that defeat and even though we beat Leicester last weekend, I won't digest it unless I win the Heineken Cup at Twickenham on 23 May."
Meanwhile, Stade Francais captain David Auradou says that while his team did get off to a flying start they still have a big job ahead of them on Friday night against Ulster at Ravenhill.
"We are in a difficult Pool with no margin for error at home and we have to get some good away results in order to have a chance of qualifying," said the international lock.
"We will have to throw everything into the hat on Friday night in an attempt to get a win - or at least a bonus point for getting within seven points.
"We have to get to grips with Ulster at all costs.
"We have never won in Ireland but we know Ulster well, from having lost in the 1999 semi-final there before they went on to lift the Heineken Cup, and from playing them in more recent seasons. We know Ravenhill is a difficult place to play - we are fore-warned.
"It's up to us to lift our level of play and to take all the scoring opportunities that are presented to us.
"Even though I am pleased with our performance last Saturday, I am well aware that we have a lot of work to do.
"After all, this team is in the midst of reconstruction and we need time that we haven't got.
"Ulster have a great pack and David Humphreys is a master at No 10. They like to play the ball a lot and basically are a complete, solid side.
"We will have to be disciplined because every slip-up will be penalised by Humphreys' boot.
"We still don't quite know where we are at the moment in the grand scheme of things. We still have to measure ourselves but we know the battle is long and it has only just started."
