The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race sponsored by Xchanging

Former Middlesex County junior rugby player who is in the third year of a Theology course at Oxford. Won the Boat Race in 2006. Was part of the Isis crew in 2005. Has already enjoyed success at junior international rowing, winning a coxed four gold at the 2003 Coupe de La Jeunesse and gold in the four at the 2004 Munich International Regatta. Was part of the GB four at the 2004 world junior championships. The crew were favourites to win before Ben Smith fell ill with a bug that spread to other parts of the team, meaning that Robin also had to sub into the eight. Began rowing at school. Mother captained Trinity BC, Oxford, and father rowed at Fitzwilliam, Cambridge. So there are divided loyalties in the family on Race day. Robin plays the piano, likes driving fast cars and collects lethal weapons including guns and knives. Has two pet snakes. Both are constrictors and described as “very friendly”. Elected OUBC President in May 2006.
