Oxford University will be looking for a military hat-trick when they host the Army at Iffley Road on Tuesday night (7.15).

The Dark Blues have already beaten the RAF and Navy this term, but can expect their toughest test of the three this time.

Oxford have spruced up their backline by naming five Blues – full back Will Browne, wing Sean Morris, plus centres Rhodri James and Jules Allfrey, who join captain Nick Haydon in the starting line-up. Chris Davies and Tosa Makoto are the only Blues in the pack.

Meanwhile, Dark Blues flanker Jamie Gibson backed up his first Guinness Premiership start for London Irish by appearing as a replacement in Saturday’s 12-12 draw at Newcastle Falcons.

Oxford University: Browne*, Morris*, James*, Allfrey*, Beer, Marr, Haydon* (capt), MacDonald, Oliver, Kane, Davies*, Guinness, Mather, Makoto*, Rickner. Reps: Harris, Keys, Dick, Rowe, Rowe, Russell, Yusef, Cho. *Denotes Blue.
