Rugby Union Varsity Match

Oxford v Cambridge Men's Match 2016

Duration: 2 hours, 15 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

John Inverdale presents live coverage of the 135th Varsity men's match between Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

Cambridge hold the historical edge, with 61 wins to 59, but Oxford have dominated recent encounters. Even the presence of Wales centre Jamie Roberts could not prevent Cambridge from suffering a sixth successive defeat when the sides met in 2015, with the Dark Blues eventually running out 12-6 winners. The Varsity game has helped launch many players' careers, including the likes of Simon Halliday, Phil de Glanville and Gareth Davies, who all appeared for Oxford, and ex-Cambridge duo Rob Andrew and Gavin Hastings.
