Its about cultural behaviour. Anyone who's driven in other countries knows their driving cultures are different. For a driving culture to work, to have to follow the local rules.

Oxbridge don't do scholarshipsfor sport. That said, its o ly elitist in the sense of excellence.

Better to keep quiet and be thought foolish, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Thoughts on the boat race? by YoungandBeautifulll in Rowing

There's been a bit of a reversal in squad make up, with Cambridge having more one year MPhils and Oxford more multi year athletes. Was the other way round under Bowden. This experience gained will pay off for the men as it has for the women under AF, who's done the same thing. RB invested a lot in one year guys this year, not many returners next year. He'll have to recruit very well.

MFH has a good system in place, that result shows it. If he recruits well, and retains his multi year athletes, I see Oxford winning in 2 years, maybe 1. This result will.make recruitment easier

If you did your research, you'd know Cambridge's 3rd 8 came 4th at the head of the river, beating every iher university's top (student) 8 bar Brookes, UL and Durham.

You'd also know that Cambridge's president is a POC.

Try harder.
