Two wins from six on domestic duty has become two from eight with Amlin Challenge Cup defeats against Wasps and Bayonne however it is in the 22-19 reverse against their French opponents that Edwards sees some positives.
The Dragons head coach is in no doubt about the tough task that faces his side on Friday evening at Rodney Parade but said:
"It [the Bayonne game] shows that the performances are in us, we've got all the weapons and the frustrating thing is that the Pro12 table would look a lot better if we had played like that in a number of league fixtures," he said.
"That needs to be our benchmark and that is the standard that we drive for on the training- ground - and I can assure you we are working really, really hard for that.
"It was a much better performance but if we think Bayonne are a big European team then they are nothing on Ulster.
"They are the form team at the moment. It's an even bigger challenge and we need an even bigger performance."
