Newport Gwent Dragons coach Darren Edwards has pledged to keep fighting to the end of the Pool stages of the Amlin Challenge Cup despite seeing his side lose their first two Pool 3 matches.
Bayonne's Benjamin Boyet just edged the battle of the boots to put the French club on a collision course with London Wasps for the leadership of the group in December's back-to-back games after the French outfit won 22-19.
Boyet left Rodney Parade with a matching winning tally of 17 points, despite a couple of misses, to leave the home side clutching at straws once again in Europe after successive defeats.
"You never know what is going to happen in Europe and we'll keep plugging away until the last game is over," said Edwards.
"I'm a firm believer that you get what you deserve in the end and that means we have to keep on putting in performances like we did against Bayonne.
"If we played like that every week we'd win the greater share of our games. It was just a shame we weren't able to make the most of our chances.
"But it was a great experience for our younger players and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top of the back-to-back games between Bayonne and London Wasps in December.
"If Wasps can go to France and get something out of the game then they'll feel confident about winning the Pool."
