Students from Cardiff and Swansea flocked to Millennium Stadium to witness the 15th Annual Varsity battle and they were treated to a fantastic event both on and off the field.

Swansea made it back-to-back victories in the match, following up last year’s success at the Liberty Stadium, which pleased Lancaster.

“We are delighted with the win,” he said.

“It was such a big occasion for our players and they performed really well.

“We knew Cardiff would be strong but it was up to us to rise to the challenge.

“They have had a good season and were on a high after gaining promotion, that said we have had one of our best ever years and were confident in our ability coming into today.

“It really is a great occasion for the players, to play in such a fantastic stadium.

“There were a lot of regional rugby representatives here from the Ospreys and it’s great for the lads to be able to demonstrate their talent to such teams.”

“It’s been a long season for us, a lot of the guys play premiership rugby and the volume of games has taken it’s toll on the players, there were a lot of tired bodies towards the end.”
