STADE FRANCAIS prop David Attoub faces a lengthy ban for gouging during a Heineken Cup game.

AS EXPECTED, Stade Francais scrum-half Julien Dupuy will appear before an independent disciplinary hearing of the European Rugby Cup as a result of a citing arising from Saturday’s Heineken Cup match against Ulster at Ravenhill.

Stade Francais players David Attoub and Julien Dupuy have both been cited for allegedly gouging Ulster forward Stephen Ferris in separate incidents in the Heineken Cup match at Ravenhill on Saturday.
