The teams opposition for the game is Oxford University 1, they currently sit second in the Midlands 2A league. Oxford have won six matches from seven so far this season and will certainly provide a tough test for NTU.

The pinks route to the next round was a much tighter affair, with NTU just edging out Loughborough.
