Trinity student Fergus Dick helps England Students to Le Crunch victory

Trinity student Fergus Dick has added international student rugby honours to an already memorable season, representing England Students in their 55–42 victory over France Universities at Kingston Park, Newcastle.

The fixture, known as Le Crunch Universitaire, brings together leading university players from England and France and is one of the showpiece matches in the student rugby calendar. This year’s encounter lived up to its billing, with England Students prevailing in a high-scoring contest on Saturday 2 May 2026.

For Fergus, the England Students appearance follows his involvement in Oxford’s 37–25 win over Cambridge in the 2026 Men’s Varsity Match at StoneX Stadium. The Dark Blues’ victory was Oxford’s first in the fixture since 2022 and completed an Oxford double on the day.

Fergus, who is studying for an MSc in Sustainable Urban Development at Trinity, has represented Oxford University as part of the Blues squad and has previously captained Loughborough University’s 1st XV.

His selection for England Students marks another proud moment for Trinity sport, highlighting the achievements of students competing at the highest levels of university rugby while pursuing their academic work at Oxford.
