    There he is, that big right thigh being iced. He'll be furious - there was so much attention on him he'd have wanted to have done all he could for Cambridge.

    Oxford's line-out has been pretty dire throughout the match so far, and once more they give it away when deep inside the Cambridge half.

    Will we find a breakthrough?

    Huge blow for Cambridge at half-time though, as Jamie Roberts is taken off for a reported dead leg, and replaced by Mike Phillips.

    No, it's not that Mike Phillips. It's a 19-year-old second-year medicine student.

    Oxford get us back under way as they have a half to become the first team to win six consecutive Varsity matches.

    When Cambridge have had the ball and they've used it, they pushed Oxford back. Oxford have come back late on in that first half, but the Cambridge defence have held really well.

    The last big occasion here was the World Cup final, and there's nobody in the world that kicks the ball more than New Zealand - but we've barely seen a ball kicked in play during the last 40 minutes.

    We asked you earlier about stars playing for teams some would see as inferior. Here's one very cult response...

    Neither team have been able to make the most of the opportunities they've had. People are putting their bodies on the line and are committed, but aren't yet thinking their way through the game.

    We may not have had many clear try-scoring chances, but the intensity of the match has been everything you'd expect from a game with this much history behind it.

    Cambridge and Wales star Jamie Roberts has had a rather interesting match so far, accidentally causing an injury to Dark Blues captain Henry Lamont, but has struggled to get hold of the ball much.

    In the midst of all of that, Cambridge winger Ilia Cherezov looks like his dislocated his shoulder, and replaced by George Williams.

    That's the last action of note in an enthralling first-half, despite the lack of many scores.

    Oxford back Tom Stileman, who has looked mightily impressive so far, breaks through the Cambridge defence and offloads to George Cullen and recieves the ball back but can't get past the last defender.

    It must be said right now, I hope without any hint of condescension, that some of the play in this game so far wouldn't look out of place in a professional match.

    Both sides are putting everything they have into every single tackle.

    I wouldn't say that's an opportunity squandered for Oxford, I'd say that's just fantastic play by Cambridge there.

    Matt Geiger has looked very, very lively at full-back. But Cambridge captain Don Stevens showed his defensive capabilities to prevent Oxford going over.

    Oxford come so, so close to getting the first try of the game, when after umpteen phases, Dark Blues full-back Matt Geiger steps his defender, but Don Stevens stops him just short of the line.

    The ball is played back to Matthew Grant, but he is put out of play for a Cambridge line-out.

    And everybody breathes after that lengthy spell of possession.

    Oxford threaten the line seriously for the first time as number nine Henry de Barker breaks through the line but held up 10 metres short.

    A mistake from Jamie Roberts as his pass to centre partner Oliver Clough is way too hard and knocked on by the bioscience enterprise student for an Oxford scrum.

    Cambridge are winning most of the physical battles here. While Oxford are looking organised in possession, Cambridge simply have a bigger physical presence in and around the ruck.
