Speculation is building that Oxford's crew for this year's Boat Race, sponsored by Xchanging for the first time, could weigh-in on 22 March as the heaviest crew of all-time.
Heavier crews are traditionally thought to have a competitive advantage. The current weight record is held by Cambridge whose average weight in 1998 was 14st 13 & 3/8Ilbs (94.9kg) per man.
This year's Boat Race is on March 27th at 3.05pm. The Weigh-in will take place at Thames Rowing Club at 1.30pm on Tuesday 22nd March.
