Oxford’s fourth successive victory in the Varsity match was marred by the first sending off in the fixture’s 141-yr history.
The Dark Blues dispatched Cambridge 33-15 at Twickenham but had to play most of the 2nd half with 14 males right after the scrum-half Sam Egerton was sent off for an incident at a ruck involving the flanker Nick Viljoen.
The referee, Matt Carley, dismissed Egerton in the 51st minute on the advice of the television match official shortly following the half-back had scored a try.
Even when down to 14 guys Oxford had been below minor risk as they eased to a record-equalling fourth consecutive win in the 132nd meeting between the rivals.
John Carter, Henry Lamont and Nicholas Gardner also crossed for the Dark Blues although John Hudson kicked three penalties and two conversions.
