Oxford Univ 42, RAF 10: Oxford University fly half John Fennell scored 17 points as the students routed the RAF at Iffley Road last night in their first outing since last month's Varsity Match defeat at Twickenham.

Fennell only came in at the last minute after first choice stand-off Matt Honeyben had injured a shoulder when falling off his bike earlier in the day.

Fennell scored one of the Dark Blues' six tries as they played with a refreshing freedom. He also added three conversions and two penalties.

Full back Will Rubie was in sparkling form with two tries, while their other scores came from winger Will Ellerby, prop Kevin Tkachuk and lock Charlie Edwards.

Oxford, who led 20-10 at half-time, were well led by skipper Dave Lubans.
