However the Irishman endured a difficult day at the office during his side's 31-19 European loss to Leicester Tigers last Saturday as he missed three kicks from the tee, including a penalty in front of the posts when the game was tied at 6-6.
He also failed to successfully stop Niki Goneva as the Fijian crossed the whitewash for the visitors just before half-time.
And ahead of the reverse match at Welford Road on Sunday, Foley backed his player to turn things around.
"He turned up today and he knows himself things need to be better," said Foley.
"You know you can't go around fooling a fella or codding a fella and he knows. He's spoken frankly about it and he's showed up today and trained well.
"He needs to get on with it as well. I don't think he intentionally missed any of those kicks. It wasn't something he did on purpose. It happens to everyone. I've played with enough out-halves who have missed kicks.
"Down in Kinsale, I watched one of the best rugby league out-halves (Yorkshire Carnegie's ex Leeds and GB Rugby League star, Kevin Sinfield) miss one in front of the posts (against Munster A on November 20).
"It is hard at times for the kickers, it's their responsibility but we try and look at it as a collective. As a group we have to stand together and improve. Those kicks wouldn't have mattered if we had executed a few other things better."
