Cambridge captain Matt Guinness-King, talking to Brendan Gallagher of the Daily Telegraph, speaks of his pride at captaining the light blues in the Varsity.
"Canadian Matt Guinness-King went head to head with Dan Carter in the 2003 World Cup, but he considers captaining Cambridge against Oxford at the Nomura Varsity match at Twickenham on Thursday afternoon as the pinnacle of his career as he bows out of the game.
“I couldn’t think of a better team to be playing for and a better bunch of guys to be playing with in my final game – if it all comes together, it would be a fantastic way to finish,” said Guinness-King, whose Cambridge side have won seven of their 13 matches so far this term.
“It’s a unique feeling within this club. Here the experience is so complete. When you’re playing for Canada you’re achieving athletic excellence and really pushing yourself next to a top-notch bunch of guys. But at Cambridge you fulfil so many goals in your life. You look at academic achievement, the friends you make from studying together, working out and playing together and you can see that you tick so many different boxes.
