Northampton coach Jim Mallinder paid tribute to his forwards after the 10-9 Heineken Cup victory over Ulster at Ravenhill.
Anscombe continued: "Our execution was poor and we suffered from it. They got 10 points up in the first 18 minutes. "We held them out well but I think we created enough opportunities to score points and we weren't patient enough and didn't have enough composure at crucial times. "We tried to force it and they brought a little more passion than us to start with. Their physicality at the start got them going. "We weren't complacent but we were a little more passive early on and we created enough opportunities but we just weren't composed enough at crucial times and we didn't take our points when we had opportunities. "Our destiny is still in our own hands. We're not relying on other teams to see how it goes, if we win our last two games we'll qualify. Not every team has that opportunity, we have and we need to take it."
