OXFORD University have announced their team for next Thursday's 30th Women's Varsity Match.

The Dark Blues have opted for a mixture of newcomers and experience as they bid to avenge last year's 52-0 defeat to Cambridge University.

Fly half Catherine Wilcock is set to win her third Blue and first as captain on December 8.

Oxford lost 22-0 to Cambridge in a BUCS Premier South Division game at the beginning of November.

But they head into the Varsity Match with a bit of confidence following back-to-back wins over the University of Gloucestershire and Bristol University.

Kick-off is at 11.30am and it is a second year in a row the fixture will be played at Twickenham as well as on the same day as the men's game.

Oxford lead the head-to-head 18-11.

Oxford University:Trott, Bunting, Ashilokun, Copley, Rose, Wilcock, Bliss, Smith, Metcalfe-Jones, Peker, Robinson, van Heerden, Odgers, McArdle, Behan. Reps: Cartwright, Matte-Gregory, McCay, Taylor, MacGinty, Duffy, Robson, Martinovic. Travelling res: Rees.
