Will Croker admits his side face a different challenge when his undefeated team travel to Gloucestershire to play third placed Drybrook.
Table-topping Bournemouth are yet to taste defeat so far in South West Premier having conquered all before them to sit four points clear following seven straight successes.
But the Director Of Rugby says his men are now there to be shot at with Croker expecting every opponent to raise their game against them.
He said: “It is an interesting week for us because we are going away to Drybrook - a place we have not been to before to face a side we do not know a huge amount  about.
“They had a close-run battle with Barnstaple last week - where they just lost 25-20 away from home - so clearly they are a good side, and they will fancy themselves at home.
“They are a young side from what I understand so they will come out with a lot of energy and a lot of power, and we have got a long journey so we have got to make sure that we step up and do our processes and make sure we are getting ourselves into the best possible frame of mind for the battle that comes.
“Now it becomes a bit more of a psychological battle because it becomes about opponents wanting to be the first side who beats us because we have started the season undefeated and we have just to be ready for people to try and up their game when they come up against us.
“So we have got a lot of challenges this week.”
But Croker’s side will no doubt be boosted by the return of skipper Joe Rees for the trip to eighth placed Drybrook.
As well as Rees, Croker can also call upon the service of Mike Haines in the backs, and the Director Of Rugby says they will both be welcome additions.
Croker added: “It is fantastic to be able to bring Joe Rees back into the side as captain because we have missed him over the last few weeks through his unfortunate injury and unavailability.
“But it is great to have him back because of course he is an integral part of everything we do.
“It is also nice to be able to welcome Mike Haines back after a few weeks out so we have had a little bit of a reshuffle of the backline, but we are going up there full of confidence with a side that we are sure we can do the job.”

Bournemouth Director Of Rugby Will Croker says the club’s Seconds’ side travelling to Ealing Seconds demonstrates the club’s strength in depth.
The West London side’s first team currently top the second tier of English rugby - The Championship - and therefore facing their second string side will be no easy task.
But with the likes of new signing Jesse Otway included in the squad, Croker says he is looking forward to them putting pressure on the first team for selection.
He said: “For the second team, it excites me enormously to see a side as strong as we have got going up to Ealing Trailfinders.
“Ealing is obviously a club who have been doing very well in recent seasons and are playing in the upper echelons of the rugby pyramid so it is yet again another big test for us.
“It is quite interesting for Jesse Otway, who has only recently joined us, to go back to his hometown club so recently after joining us.
“So I’m sure he’ll be looking forward to it, and we have got a number of guys in that team who are desperate to make a point and are desperate to press their claims for a first team jersey over the coming weeks.”
