Charlie Amesbury is currently taking a break from professional rugby at Queens’ College Cambridge where he is studying for a Masters in Social Innovation.

Charlie began his rugby career at the tender age of six; playing mini rugby at Petersfield in the early ‘90s and continued to develop his game at Lord Wandsworth College from the age of 13.

In 2004, Charlie played full back for the London & South East Division and was selected for the England training group. In the same year he played for England U18 and during the 2004/05 season played regularly for Harlequins in the Zurich A League. He made his 1st XV debut for Quins the following season.

He has also played for Newcastle Falcons and Bristol and was part of the England Sevens squad that competed in the 2006-07 IRB Sevens World Series.

Cambridge will have a fight on their hands as Oxford are seeking to extend their Varsity Match record to seven successive victories.
