A few eyebrows may have been raised when Oxford Harlequins 2nd gave a walkover on Saturday while their thirds still played.
Quins’ seconds could not raise a side to visit Henley 3rd in BB&O Premier A, but their thirds lost to Aylesbury Athletic in Division 1 North.
Director of rugby John Brodley explained: “We did not have anywhere near enough players of second XV standard who wanted to play, as simple as that.
“So we did not play a second or fourth XV, but played a first XV, Oxford first XV and a third XV.”
