Captain George Messum and head coach James Wade have selection dilemmas ahead of Oxford University’s final fixture before next month’s Varsity Match.
The Dark Blues take on National League 1 side Richmond at Iffley Road tomorrow (3) ahead of their bid for a historic sixth successive victory over Cambridge at Twickenham on December 10.
Messum said: “Everyone realises that this is the crunch point.
“We have got guys down to the wire pushing themselves for selection. I think that is really healthy for the squad.”
Oxford will announce their 23-man squad for the Varsity Match on Monday evening.
