The Boat Race: Meet the crews
Meet the crews who’ll be competing in this Sunday’s Boat Race.
Two crews, one race and only one winner. The 159th Boat Race is almost upon us.
Cambridge lead Oxford by five in the all-time list of wins, but will history repeat itself this year? With Oxford packing the extra weight, despite being the bookies’ early favourites, everything’s left to play for.
