Havant's depleted side went down to league leaders Southend with the last kick of the game.
But rugby manger Simon Morgan was full of praise for his team .
"Even the home crowd said we were robbed," he said. "However, this should give us real confidence in our ability to more than just compete in this league."
Portsmouth went down 39-18 at home to Bishop's Stortford, a result that leaves the Portsmouth side bottom of the league.
