Worcester Warriors and Perpignan go head-to-head for what virtually amounts to a straight 80 minutes shoot-out for a quarter-final place when they clash at Stade Aime Giral on Saturday night.
The Warriors have banked 14 points from their three wins, three points clear of the sleeping French giants, and James Hook and his team-mates know another defeat will really dent their knock-out chances.
And in the wake of the thrilling 22-21 Round 3 win at Sixways, Warriors head coach Richard has identified the French club's scrum as one of the biggest threats to the 2008 tournament finalists making the last eight.
"If you are going to beat Perpignan, you've got to nullify their scrum and their maul, which we did except for the first 20 minutes of the second half," added Hill.
"And I saw plenty of opportunities to go wide. If we can do the same on a better pitch in Perpignan, then we can do some damage with the likes of Nikki Walker and David Lemi.
"If we had lost then we would have had to pick ourselves up going to Perpignan, but this victory gives a chance.
"The passion, desire, belief and confidence are beginning to flow through the club and it was the attitude of the players I was pleased with.
"It takes a long while to get a group of players to feel that way that, even against a team like Perpignan, they can take them on and believe they can beat them."
