Ojomoh: We have the tools for any job

MAX Ojomoh compares Bath, who in three seasons have risen from basement battlers to table toppers, to a Swiss Army knife.

Bath used to struggle to beat anyone home or away, but centre Ojomoh, who made his comeback from injury quicker than anticipated last weekend, says they now have the tools for any job.

Many of the players who have been behind their rise up the table in the last two seasons - they finished second a year ago — were around when they suffered humiliating results such as the 64-0 defeat to rivals Gloucester.

“We are more experienced than we were then, but in Johann (van Graan, head coach) we have the right leader for this club,” said the 24-year old Ojomoh, son of former England No.8 Steve. “He is unbelievably good with his player management, talent identification and recruitment.

“He understood how we needed to adapt our game when we were losing matches and we went from losing by less to winning those games by a little bit to where we are now having earlier this year had six 40-point wins on the bounce.

“Losing is habitual as is winning and it is nice to be on the other side. There are a number of intangibles - there is a good feeling around the club now and we have a strong culture, a really tight family that always has a laugh.
