Newport Gwent Dragons earned maximum points in their opening European campaign as they sit joint top of Pool three with tonight’s opponents Newcastle Falcons.
The Dragons, Director of Rugby Lyn Jones said: "All the players stood up against Stade Francais, we went out there without expectations and just played without pressure with everyone enjoying it.
"To score 38 points in France is a major achievement and I am pleased with the way that the players responded to our defeats and poor performances against the Scarlets and Edinburgh.
"It's got our self belief back, we are a good team and do have good players but those losses had dented our confidence.
"Now we have to play with the same attitude against Newcastle. The motivation is to back up a resounding victory with another one but we are aware of how difficult that can be."
The Falcons also opened their campaign with a bonus point win, against Bucharest Wolves at Kingston Park.
"Newcastle, like ourselves, didn't have a great start to the season but have benefited from wins against Exeter, London Welsh and Bucharest.
"We have got 80 minutes of a stern challenge against very proud English opposition and we are taking nothing for granted."
