In this iconic print captured by Colorsport Images, we witness the jubilant celebration of Cambridge captain John Robbie after a resounding victory in the 1978 Varsity Match against Oxford. The intense Rugby Union clash at Twickenham Stadium saw Cambridge dominate with an impressive scoreline of 25-7, showcasing their exceptional skill and teamwork. The image portrays a triumphant moment as John Robbie basks in glory within the confines of the Twickenham changing room. Clutching the prestigious Bowring Bowl trophy tightly, he exudes sheer elation and pride. Flanking him on either side are his loyal teammates Richard Tyler and Matthew Fosh, who share in his joyous triumph. Robbie's beaming smile reflects not only his personal achievement but also symbolizes the collective success of Cambridge University's rugby team. Their unwavering determination and relentless effort have paid off handsomely, leaving them victorious over their long-standing rivals from Oxford University. This photograph serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit that drives athletes to push beyond their limits for glory on such hallowed grounds.
