Ojo scored in London Irish's 35-23 defeat at Northampton.

London Irish wing Topsy Ojo says the team is not panicking despite suffering four successive defeats.

Irish have slipped to second in the Premiership after losing two away fixtures at Wasps and Northampton.

He told BBC Berkshire: "We've scored 20-plus points, which on other days is good enough to win the game.

"There's no panicking at all. We're still second in the league, we're where we want to be. Our aim is to finish in the top four and we're on track."

The Exiles face Leicester Tigers this Saturday at the Madejski Stadium - a prospect Ojo says he is relishing.

"We know it's going to be a very physical game, but being back at home is great for us, it'll be nice to be back in front of our own fans and they'll be a massive help to us," he said.

"We've a good record against Leicester over the last couple of years and that bodes well for us as well."

Ojo insists that the form is not as bad as the results suggest.

"We've been disappointed with the last two weeks, we want to win these big games and we've come close but fallen away," he said.

"We've been coughing up possession a bit too cheaply, especially in attacking positions close to their try line.

"If we cut that out, we know we're creating enough opportunities which should turn these losses into wins."
