Baxter still believes in Chiefs
Despite their 42-10 defeat to Clermont at Stade Marcel-Michelin, Baxter believes his side can still stay in the mix for a place in the last eight by winning in Bordeaux-Begles and then reversing their defeat against the Ospreys at home in the New Year.
"The bigger picture is that this result may not mean too much. We still have two games to go and we would have had to have won at least one of them – now we have to win them both," said Baxter.
"If we use this experience of coming to France to win another game in France later in the pool, then great. We have got to use the frustrations, disappointments and errors, both collectively and as individuals, the next time we come over here because there will be a similar amount of pressure and we will be playing in front of an even bigger crowd.
"I'm a bit frustrated and disappointed at how quickly we went off plan as individuals. We started very brightly, but then we gave away a plethora of silly penalties and never got the controlled possession we had last week.
"We are a pretty good team now and we need our guys to stay confident with what we do. When it is tough, and it was a times, that's the time to really stick at it. We didn't and we went off on our own."
