Bath Chronicle
|June 26, 2025
Max Ojomoh is in line for his first senior England cap, while seven fellow students have been selected for the 2025 World Rugby U20 Championship ahead of a busy international summer for rugby players at the University of Bath.
-
Business student Ojomoh, fresh from playing a key role in Bath Rugby's historic trophy treble, is among ten uncapped players named by Steve Borthwick - himself a University of Bath Hall of Fame for Sport inductee - in England's squad for the Summer Tour of Argentina and the United States.
Ojomoh, scorer of a decisive try in Bath's Premiership Rugby Final win over Leicester Tigers, played for the University men’s Ist XV in BUCS Super Rugby during the 2021-22 season before progressing into the Bath Rugby senior ranks. He has previously represented his country at A, U20 and U18 level.
England face Argentina on July 5 and 12 before travelling to Washington DC on July 19 to face the USA Men's Eagles, whose squad includes alumnus Tom Pittman who played BUCS Super Rugby for Bath during the 2019-20 season.
Meanwhile, the World Rugby U20 Championship gets under way in Italy on Sunday and there will once again be plenty of University of Bath interest, particularly in the England squad which includes five current students.
