The BBC is saying sunny intervals, 11-12°C with a ESE wind of around 15mph/24kph (i.e. wind blowing from right to left as you come out of the players' tunnel).

Could be wrong but aren't they banned still? or at least should be still?
As Tigerbeat said, Gabrillagues was free to play from March 21.
Slimani (the other player in bold) was not banned - you're thinking of Laurent Sempere, who got 15 weeks and was originally free to play from May 9. Slimani was the player punched by OTY for which he received his 1 game ban from the same match.

Don't want him turning out to be like Shalke Brits do we?

We must be due a French visiting team to not turn up. I'm sure we seem to run into the only French sides that seem to be up for it. Stade have been poor for weeks but I know they'll turn up on form Sunday and play well. Nothing is ever easy for us. Lol
We certainly don't want him turning out like Schalk Brits, getting himself red carded and banned for punching for 3 weeks. He could do with his extra stone in weight and height though!
The Team has announced has a good solid look to it and the question of Burns or Williams has been answered, Cockers has picked the ;player in form. I particularly lack the flankers selection of Fitzgerald and O'Connor and McCaffrey's reversion to No.8.
Not sure I buy in to this 'Stade won't turn up stuff'. Danty, Dupuy, Parisse all class: they can't play badly all the time.
Let's hope we don't give the Dupuy the opportunity to do his 270 degree turn & under the posts try scoring manoeuvre!!
