Discuss Boat Race 2012 in Sports, Adventure Training and Events on The Army Rumour Service; Bloke without the oar could have been the second swimmer to disrupt the Cambridge boat if he'd been quick enough! Could the first bloke not have been stopped before he got close to disrupting it? ...

    Could the first bloke not have been stopped before he got close to disrupting it? Bodes well for the Olympic water events?

    Excitement not over yet. One of the Oxford crew is in extreme distress. Been lifted out of the boat and is receiving attention on a support boat.

    More to the point no-one noticed the passed out bloke for a good 5 minutes!

    Sorry sweetheart didn't realise I was butting in. It was plain that you asked the question before the clash of oars. My response was supposed to be humourous.

    Trophy presentation cancelled. The injured rower is still being treated but is conscious and sat up.

    How incredibly exciting.

    Next year they should issue the Stroke with machine guns

    Can the swimmer get across to Augusta and ruin the golf next?

    That's a good point. Make a note, Darling... "Recommendation for the Oxbridge Vice-Chancellors: Heavy machine guns for strokes." Bright idea, Blackadder.


    Bahhhhhhhhh!

    Why should it have been another restart? Oxford were warned before the clash.

    They alternate between an Oxford and a Cambridge umpire each year.
