Jonny Bell insists Ulster must use last week's 22-11 win over Sale as a springboard for further success this season.
The province enjoyed a welcome shot in the arm with the Champions Cup victory, earning head coach Dan McFarland some respite following a poor run of results.
Next up it's the visit of the Stormers to Kingspan Stadium on Friday night, the reigning URC champions who knocked Ulster out at the semi-final stages last season.

"We have the reigning champions coming to town, so it’s all about us," said defence coach Bell.
"I thought that the home crowd were unbelievable in the Sale Sharks game, even before the game they were so vocal so we want to make them proud this weekend. We want momentum to build, we are in the URC again and need a good win.
"Stormers know it’s a crucial game for them too, they are in good form, so will be confident and want to move the ball around."
Bell added: "They are going to be a very difficult animal. Sale Sharks have a huge power game where they wanted to get at us physically but these guys play a very mixed game.
"They are powerful but move really fast around the pitch so we need to control the ball well when we have it and make sure that we are smart defensively."
Ulster had won just once in seven games before beating Sale last week.
Bell praised his players for emerging from a tough run of games with a morale-boosting win, and hopes it can act as a catalyst as they prepare for the Stormers' first visit to Belfast.
"I've been incredibly proud of how the guys have coped during this 10-week block of games. The margins are so fine, you can be a decision away from losing a game or winning," he said.
"When you lose it's about making sure you don’t lose too much confidence, stick to your process and come through it.
"It's about us doing it week in week out and there is no bigger test this weekend."
