The same applies against Harlequins, where a good result is far more important than anything else, in the hope that two wins on the trot get really get this stuttering season going and see them climb up the Guinness Premiership table.
Team spirit and character were to the fore against the Tigers, and the same qualities will be needed by the bucketful at the Stoop, where results are rarely easy to achieve even when quins are stuttering as they appear to be this season.
Joint captain Gareth Delve was as pleased as anybody with the win over Leicester after calling on the squad to pull together to get out of trouble.
And now he says it’s time to cash in on that win.
He told the Citizen: “Friday night was a great example of the spirit we have built in the squad. The lads have stuck together through all the difficult times and now that is starting to show.
"We hope that we've been through the bad patch and now we can hit a purple patch and really get things going.
"We know that if we don't back it up against Harlequins this weekend, the Leicester win means nothing.
"The big plus point is the impact the youngsters had. Henry Trinder, Dave Lewis and Freddie Burns are all finding their feet in the backs, and Charlie Sharples came in and did a brilliant job.

Without a full team of internationals against Tigers, Gloucester expect a lot of experienced players to be available for the Quins game, when a win would suggest that beating Leicester was no flash in the pan and Gloucester really could be on he way back.

We hope.
