LONDON Scottish will this week host the oldest Varsity rugby match in the world as Edinburgh and St Andrews face off in what will be the second consecutive year that the match has taken place outside of Scotland.

The two sides descend on the Richmond Athletic Ground on Friday – St Andrews Day – with St Andrews looking to avenge the 39-0 thrashing handed to them by Edinburgh in the corresponding fixture last year. The game between the two universities, first played more than 150 years ago, predates Oxford v Cambridge.
