What are Cambridge’s chances like?

Last time Cambridge faced Oxford was in early February and the Cantabs were dominant, emerging with a 1-0 victory.

Hopefully, Cambridge can reverse the result of Varsity 2015, where the game went Oxford’s way after a tense 1-1 draw that was decided on penalties.

Who exactly are we supporting?

Here’s the match squad:

Hopefully, this is what we’ll see on Sunday

Should I celebrate Cambridge’s win with a pint in a pub?

NO.

After Varsity Football, there’s still time to get to the Thames for the boat race. Don’t worry if you know nothing about rowing, The Tab has put together this handy guide to stop you making a complete idiot out of yourself.

If you’re convinced watching rowing isn’t for you, never fear! The annual Goat Race is also occurring on Sunday.

Don’t worry, after Cambridge has established its dominance on the water as well as on the pitch, there’ll be plenty of time for celebrations.
