Description: | Every year the university rugby teams of Oxford and Cambridge Universities take part in the Varsity Match. The first Varsity match was played at Oxford in 1872, but in 1877 it was decided to move the event to a more neutral ground and the Oval at Kennington in south London was chosen. In subsequent years the event was held at the home grounds of various rugby clubs around London, but in 1921 it finally found a permanent home at the national rugby stadium at Twickenham. It is a fiercely contested match and fans show their support by wearing the scarf of their favourite university. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | World Rugby Museum | Rights holder: | World Rugby Museum | Subjects: | Sport | Temporal: | Circa 1990s | Source: | World Rugby Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
