Lewis Stevenson was the stand-out performer for the Ravens in that game and he believes that a win is a must at Ravenhill on Friday night.
"It's obviously a really important game for us and it will be interesting to play against Niall (O'Connor). He will know us pretty well, just as we know him - it will bring an interesting dimension to the match.
"The result against the Cornish Pirates was a really disappointing. I don't think that we did ourselves justice and we had a quality side out. This week we have to aim to put in a winning performance and get the campaign back on track."
Kick off at Ravenhill is 19:30. Admission is free for season-ticket holders. Tickets for the game can be purchased here.
