    A devastated Warren Greatrex paid tribute to Abuffalosoldier, who suffered a suspected heart attack and died just moments after producing a sensational round of jumping to win the 3m3½f handicap chase.

     

    The seven-year-old collapsed when pulled up after the race, while Bangers And Cash also suffered a fatal collapse midway through the contest. Racecourse vet Liam Kearns said it was "a huge coincidence" that there were two fatalities in the same race.

     

    Abuffalosoldier jumped superbly under Sean Bowen to record a fifth and final career victory. He has been with Greatrex throughout his career and was giving the yard a first Cheltenham winner in five years.

    Wales sank to an all-time results low in their 143-year international rugby history with a record defeat by Australia in Cardiff.

     

    The embarrassing loss will leave the position of head coach Warren Gatland under scrutiny as he guided his side to a record 11th consecutive international defeat.

    England (4-2-3-1) Pickford; Livramento, Walker, Guehi, Hall; Gallagher, Jones; Madueke, Bellingham, Gordon; Kane.

    Substitutes: Henderson, Trafford, Lewis, Gibbs-White, Gomes, Quansah, Harwood-Bellis, Watkins, Rogers, Bowen, Solanke.

     

    Republic of Ireland (possible 5-4-1) Kelleher; O’Shea, McGuinness, Collins, Scales, O’Dowda; Ebosele, Cullen, Molumby, Szmodics; Ferguson.

    Substitutes: O’Leary, Travers, Doherty, Parrott, Johnston, O’Brien, Moran, Azaz, Manning, Coventry, McAteer, Cannon.
