South African rugby union lock for Sale Sharks
A Lions rugby player has died after a collapse in a hotel shower in Ile de Ré, France. The team’s Champions Cup debut is now in doubt as authorities investigate the incident; the player’s identity has been confirmed by SA Rugby and the Lions as Hyron Andrews.
Glasgow Warriors have come from 12-0 down to beat Sale 47-27 in their Champions Cup opener, with late tries from Darge, Smith and Tuipulotu sealing the bonus point. Sale briefly led again but Glasgow’s driving maul proved decisive and ensured maximum points as the clubs head into December fixtures.
