Busy summer of international rugby ahead for University of Bath students on England Summer Tour and at U20 World Champs
Max Ojomoh is in line for his first senior England cap and 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 10 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 1st XV in BUCS Super Rugby during the 2019-20 season before quickly progressing into the Bath Rugby senior ranks. He has previously represented his country at A, U20 and U18 level.
