varsity rugby match...

On Tuesday December 6th, I joined about 30 of my classmates in a trip to the Varsity Match - the annual rugby match between Oxford and Cambridge. The match takes place at the Twickenham stadium ("the home of England rugby"), which is near London. We rented a bus to take us all out there and back so we didn't have to battle with public transportation, and as it was during study week, we actually managed to do a lot of group reviewing on the way out there and back. Twickenham itself was a great place to get a chance to visit. The stadium is really large and there were approximately 40,000 people in attendance for the varsity match. Such great atmosphere! Oxford had a really good start and was ahead at half-time, but unfortunately Cambridge rallied a comeback in the second half and ended up beating Oxford by about 20 points... Oh well. It was still a great time.
