"The anticipation for this fixture could not have

"The anticipation for this fixture could not have been higher. Since the game had been strategically timetabled to take full advantage of the frenzied post-collections search for a ‘fun day out’, the crowd that converged on Iffley Road yesterday afternoon was allegedly 2,000 strong. Packed into the stands and pressed up against the white fences surrounding the pitch, the masses were treated to a feast of ‘liquid rugby’.

My day started with a browse of the programme, which revealed the slightly surreal fact that the majority of those kitted out in England red had been born in 2003. The incredulous requests for birth certificates that ensued from those on the side-lines fell on the deaf ears of these colossal 18-year-olds. As it was, not much flustered them during the warm-up, and the far-fetched attempts of some of the supporters surrounding me to ‘rattle’ them with their genteel ‘Oxford chat’ were in vain. A particular highlight, from an individual who will remain anonymous for his own sake, was the instruction towards an England player to “put his head in the freezer but his body in the fire”. This did not have the intimidating effect that had presumably been intended. The Principality Stadium, this was not. The red-clad giants were instead focussed on slamming themselves very hard into a set of luminous green tackle bags, which had presumably committed unspeakable crimes to deserve such treatment. At the other end of the pitch, one would have forgiven the Blues a few nervous glances in the direction of their international opponents."

Ollie Nicholls writes about the Oxford Blues match against the England under-20s team. To find out more about the match, head on over to our website.

"Oxford students yesterday attended a protest agai

"Oxford students yesterday attended a protest against the Government’s Nationality and Borders Bill. The protest, supported and organised by Oxford SU, was held from 2pm on the steps outside the Clarendon Building, and at its peak was attended by approximately 70 people from various organisations.

The protest comes as the House of Lords prepares to examine the Bill during its Committee Stage, prior to its Third Reading. The Bill gives the government exceptional powers to remove an individual’s citizenship without informing them, so long as they have, or are eligible for citizenship elsewhere. The Bill also has implications for refugees and asylum seekers, empowering the government to turn back boats at sea and send asylum seekers to third countries for offshore asylum processing, as well as further criminalising attempts to enter the UK irregularly."

Blue News reports on a protest yesterday against the government's Nationality and Borders Bill. The full article can be found on our website.
