Women's Rugby Union: Varsity 2012, 15/05/2012

So another year, another Women’s Varsity. This year an all-conquering Uni side (our very own Team of the Year) prepares itself to face their Trent rivals in another monster tie. Uni have spent their entire season building up to this, tearing through all but one of the teams they have faced, amassing over 400 points on their way to promotion and topping their BUCS group. They have met Trent twice this season and the current score is 1-1: Varsity is the tiebreaker!

Working off the back of their small, highly mobile and offload-happy pack, Uni have not just beaten their opposition, they have dismantled them. Their potent backline, led by long-standing and free scoring fly half Izzy Joris, has posted one cricket score after another. Their crowning moment coming after 24 minutes against Anglia Ruskin, when the referee stopped play after Uni posted 74 points in that time!
