A top-four spot is the next aim for Foley after his side guaranteed themselves at least a top-six finish last week, although that is easier said than done against some tricky opposition in Treviso, Ulster and Newport Gwent Dragons.
And he believes given the level of commitment he is witnessing each day in training, as well as what is at stake for his side, his players most certainly won't need motivating for the run-in.
"We're not so much peaking, but a lot of the injuries we had in the early to middle part of our season have come back," he said.
"There's so much competition in the side and when we train it is at a level of intensity now that forces players to prepare properly for training.
"Through that players are getting the benefit of the weekend, and standards have come up because they can't get away with it during the week.
"We're better than what we were at the start of the year. That happens naturally anyway, you evolve over the year and in a year's work you'd like to think it makes people better.
"You don't need to stand over things with players as much as you would have in October, and you want to make sure they're all turning up and remaining competitive. That competitiveness will manifest in the performance on the pitch.
"We've got three quality sides left in the competition, everyone's got something to play for, and it's important we look at it as one game at a time rather than three to go."
