Oxford eye fifth Varsity win in row

Oxford will be aiming to make it five consecutive wins in th e 34th Pcubed Rugby League Varsity Match, which takes place on Thursday at the Honourable Artillery Company in central London.

The Dark Blues triumphed 32-4 a year ago to level the series at 16 wins apiece, with one draw, and victory on Thursday would enable them to equal the Cambridge run of five consecutive victories from 1995-99.

Cambridge captain and full-back James Tennison said: "We've got a good number of returning players this year and, after winning all our league games this season, are keen to take back the lead."
