[QUOTE="best_fullback, post: 386530, member: 15318"] Hi guys, Just thought I would let you all know about this match that happened on Wednesday night at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. As most of you will know, most Universities have what is know as a varsity fixture each year with a rival university; the most famous of which is Oxford v Cambridge. What is highly regarded as the second biggest university rivalry in England and Wales is that between Cardiff and Swansea. For 15 years now at Easter time the two universities meet for a day of sports ranging from Ultimate Frisbee, Lacrosse, Netball, Football, Fencing and of course culminating in the best event: the Mens 1st XV Rugby Union. In the previous 2 years of watching this fixture Cardiff have won once 9-6, in a very dull game at Cardiff Arms Park back in 2008. Swansea won the second at the Liberty Stadium in a tense comeback 16-12 in 2009 which had then set up (for me at least!) a decider in my final year. This years game was fantastic and showcased what I thought was a very high standard of rugby, and the record varsity crowd of 14,789 were brilliant and really made the occasion with a great atmosphere. What was also brilliant was that this was the first fixture between the two teams that was broadcast live on S4C, which means you can watch the whole game on their website or highlights on the WRU website. I won't reveal the final score for anyone who wants to watch the game! For full game the link to S4C is [URL="http://www.s4c.co.uk/clic/e_level2.shtml?programme_id=412315049"]here[/URL]. Game is broadcast in Welsh. For highlights on the WRU website the link is [URL="http://www.wru.co.uk/matchdaytv/Index/index/id/7916"]here[/URL]. Highlights in English. (not sure whether these links will work outside of the UK) [/QUOTE]
