I know there were far too many errors in the game, described by Cambridge coach John Evans as a "knock-on-a-thon", but was anybody else impressed by the discipline of the teams when defending their goal line? They put most SL teams to shame, having both feet behind the line on nearly every play.

Also I felt the referee had a good game

Yes to both points.

Generally, it was also a very disciplined game in terms of foul play.

The Varsity match is about the occasion, not the standard of the rugby league.

Instead of bagging this fixture, people should be aware of it's worth in it's own right and then start working towards getting Leeds Met and Loughborough (or anybody else from the Super 6) on tv.

Just getting round to watching this game now.

The Oxford winger Batstone has a look of Billy Slater about him - even down to abusing the defender who came in late with his knees as he scored a try a la Calderwood at Telstra Dome!

As yet he hasn't thrown a silly pass inside to avoid being tackled into touch.

In fact why not get the "Students" games shown on a Friday afternoon, using the equipment already there and offer it FREE to say ITV ( who have no money) or the Beeb so they can educate the masses with really good stuff instead of brainless fodder like the Dick van Dyke show or women chattering aimlessly about nothing.
