Oxford University have named five Olympic rowers for the Boat Race against Cambridge on March 29.

Olympic silver medallist Colin Smith occupied the key stroke seat in the GB eight in Beijing, but Croatian Ante Kusurin takes the spot for Oxford.

Smith and New Zealander George Bridgewater, who won bronze in the coxless pairs in Beijing, are the leading lights for Oxford.

President Smith named his line-up, which is: Michal Plotkowiak (bow), Smith (2), Alex Hearn (3), Ben Harrison (4), Sjoerd Hamburger (5), Tom Solesbury (6), George Bridgewater (7) Ante Kusurin (stroke) and Colin Groshong (cox).

Cambridge announce their line-up later today.
