Surreal to see the morris dancers in the background flinging hankies about.

Those Morris dancers or whoever on the bank there, the white scarves flying, right at the time that the boats are going past... Grin

If Oxford pull back it will be a nail biting race to the finish line.

CutSomeRug · 07/04/2019 15:23

Power up lads.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 07/04/2019 15:24

Oxford are coming back, Cambridge not looking in charge just yet...

Ooh, at least I didn't miss it!

Phew!

ScreamingValenta · 07/04/2019 15:29

That was so tense!

What a cracking race!

Janleverton · 07/04/2019 15:29

James cracknall acrually foaming at the mouth.

CutSomeRug · 07/04/2019 15:29

Bugger.

Cue BBC immediately talking about all of JC’s other achievements, not the crew. Hmm. Well done Cambridge, well done TEAM.

Oxford did really well, that fight back was impressive!

Well done, Cambridge, it was a worthy fight.

Janleverton · 07/04/2019 15:30

Protest! But Cambridge were in the lead then anyway?

JaneJeffer · 07/04/2019 15:30

God they're wrecked.

Janleverton · 07/04/2019 15:30

Oxford did brilliantly given a totally mixed up boat/seats/new cox and all.
