OXFORD University have made use of the experience in their squad in naming next week's Varsity Match team.

Eleven returning Blues will make up the starting XV to face Cambridge University at Twickenham on December 8, with a further two on the bench.

Oxford are bidding for a historic seventh successive victory and to make it 60-61 in the overall head-to-head.

Despite losing the likes of Henry Lamont, Lewis Anderson, George Cullen, Matt Janney and Ian Williams, who have won 20 Blues between them, from last year, the Dark Blues are still able to select players who have experienced victory at the home of English rugby.

Cambridge announced their squad yesterday, with Bristol full back Charlie Amesbury in the starting XV.

Oxford University: Geiger, David, Hughes, Hogg, Stileman, Strang, de Berker, Ball, Hart, Morris, Taylor, Grant, Roberts-Huntley, Blomfield, Wilson. Reps: Thornton, Scaife, Lu, Marsden, MacGilchrist, Beaufils, Kershaw, Kearns. Travelling res: Goss.
