Cambridge have named five of last year's beaten crew in their eight for the 7 April Boat Race against Oxford. Kieran West, Tom James, Thorsten Engelmann, Sebastian Schulte and Kip McDaniel are the survivors.
Oxford's only representative from last year is Robin Ejsmond-Frey, but they include cox Nick Brodie who was dropped last year at just four weeks' notice.
