Hyron Andrews - the former Sale second row found dead at his new team's hotel base before a Champions Cup match in France on Saturday - died of natural causes, an autopsy has found.

The 31-year-old, who joined the Johannesburg-based Lions this summer, suffered a tear in the aorta, an artery which carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
