MRC Tokyo, the student team from Meiji University in Japan's capital city, will begin a UK tour in Oxford next year.

They will start by watching Oxford University play the Penguins at Iffley Road on February as they did on their inaugural tour in 1987.

MRC Tokyo face a combined Corpus Christi and Somerville College team the following day before going on to face Trinity College, Cambridge, Brockleians and Charlton Park.
