THE BOAT RACE is nearly upon us as Oxford take on Cambridge for the 169th time in the historic event.
Last year, Cambridge extended their lead over University rivals Oxford after holding off a late charge.
It was a double for Cambridge last year as they also triumphed in the women's race.
At the end of the men's Boat Race, Oxford rower Felix Drinkall collapsed and was rushed to hospital, but thankfully it was confirmed afterwards he was OK.
