NEW Varsity Match sponsors Lehman Brothers won't be lacking Twickenham experience when the big day arrives on December 12.

Staff at the investment bank include former Oxford Blues Simon Halliday, Ross Lavery and Chris Hadfield.

A spokesman for the firm, who are also sponsoring the women's match, said: "The Varsity Match is watched around the world, and supporting it offers us a great opportunity to connect with students and alumni, including distinguished clients and potential employees."

Lehman Brothers will make a donation to the Oxford Children's Hospital and Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, for every Varsity Match spectator.
