橄榄球牛桥大战(Oxbridge)始于1872年,今年已经是第137届,2015年世界最佳裁判员金哨奈吉尔·欧文斯(Nigel Owens)将执法本场大战。
两队在2018-19赛季的战绩虽同为7胜3负,但是在面对像三一学院都柏林分校(Trinity College Dublin)、太平洋岛民(The Pacific Islanders RFC)这样的对手时,剑桥远没有牛津那样赢的顺风顺水。牛津还在主场27-21战胜了首届世界军人橄榄球世界杯冠军英军。剑桥26-21战胜世界大学橄榄球翘楚拉夫堡大学,28-14战胜英国警察联队。对比双方输掉的三场比赛中,牛津20-26小负刚刚在2019世界杯复活赛全胜的加拿大,深蓝之队与世界前20在上半场打成了13-14,状态相当出色。剑桥12-34败给仅在英格兰第三级别联赛排名中下游剑桥橄榄球俱乐部(Cambridge RFC)。在同样输给英冠球队里奇蒙(Richmond RFC)比赛中,牛津则比剑桥多拿下了一个达阵。
两队在赛前不约而同的狂灌迷魂汤,称自己为“屌丝”(underdogs),尊对方为高手。这种话谁也不会当真,因为无论是深蓝还是天蓝,都在暗自运气,剑桥当然想拿下2007年后的首个三连胜,坐拥7名前职业运动员的牛津又怎么可能善罢甘休。
小贴士:今晚23点前,CCTV5 仍有斯诺克赛事,且有丁俊晖出赛,故本场比赛的播出存在延时可能。
