Oxford v Cambridge
Joe plays his last game of rugby this Thursday in the traditional Ox v Cambridge match at Twickers. The tradition post-game is to leave a boot in the shed which Joe fully intends to do. A local pub has vied to have the boot and to display it. Joe insists that he intends to never go faster than a purposeful walk for the rest of his life - then again when competitions on the field of honour at Roff Xmas emerge we might be able to change his mind. He thinks Oxford is a reasonable chance. It seems Ash & Cathy & Annika may get to the game. Ros & Barry will definitely be present to support at a variety of levels.

From the Weekend Australian (p 48):
"Roff ends with honours"
"Wallabies great Joe Roff will end his long and distinguished career by leading Oxford University against Cambridge in the famous varsity match at Twickenham next Thursday.
"Roff, who was known for his carefree attitude as a player, has taken his captaincy responsibility quite seriously.
"As the team prepared for the annual grudge match, a couple of Light Blues' forwards turned up late for training and recieved a bollocking from Roff, which had forwards coach and fellow Australian Jake Howard in tears of laughter."
