Gloucester Rugby are one regulation win away from qualifying for the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals - but try machine Shane Monahan is adamant there is still plenty more to come.
The 2006 tournament champions are seven points clear of Premiership rivals London Irish and face return ties at Bordeaux-Begles and home to Mont de Marsan in the final Pool matches in the New Year.
The margin of the 47-3 victory over the Exiles in Round 4 was remarkable and, in no small measure, achieved with a four-try salvo from Monahan.
But the powerful 25-year-old wing believes Gloucester have not really scratched the surface of their potential and that "we still feel there is a lot more to come from us, even though we might be well-placed.
"To score one try in a game is always a great feeling, but to get four in a game is just fantastic - and to do that in a European game was a great experience.
"The first 20 minutes were quite frustrating for us, we were trying to play rugby but it wasn't really working.
"It was great to get that try, get some momentum and get a bit of confidence back into the lads and we just took off from there.
"It's a very exciting time to be a back at Gloucester, it's a great backline and team to be a part of. These boys can produce some special rugby - as long as we work hard for it - and we don't even feel like we've really got going yet either.
"We want to be competing for silverware, because we know we're good enough to do it. We've got the confidence in ourselves and our ability and each other.
"Probably the most exciting part is that we're not anywhere near where we feel we can and want to be."
