Max Ojomoh revealed that the great competition in the English midfield was the inspiration behind his outstanding performance in his debut at the Allianz Stadium against Argentina.
Ojomoh, who came on as a late substitute at inside centre due to an injury to Fraser Dingwall, responded with a Player of the Match performance, scoring a try and creating two more.
This poses a selection challenge for Steve Borthwick ahead of the start of the Six Nations against Wales on February 7, with Ojomoh, Dingwall, and Seb Atkinson competing for a starting spot in a position that has been problematic for England.
“Now I see Seb, Fraser, Ollie Lawrence, Luke Northmore and many number 12s emerging, and that kind of competition drives everyone to perform at a higher level.” “It’s a very competitive position, so there are many contenders for a position in the field. If you’re in shape, you move forward.” After opening the scoring with a timely try in the 10th minute, Ojomoh assisted on tries for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Henry Slade. Feyi-Waboso scored after catching Ojomoh’s precise pass, while Slade benefited from his teammate’s run and pass to score a crucial try.“A year ago, people were going crazy about the crisis in the center,” Ojomoh said after winning his second international match.

“My favorite part was the cross pass because I had never done it in the league,” said Ojomoh.
Ojomoh“I’ve tried it when I’ve had penalty advantage and missed them all, so it was a good time for it to work. And to kick it to a very good friend, Manny [Feyi-Waboso], I’m glad he scored the try.” “I was very surprised by the pass. I saw Sladey and thought ‘nothing to lose, I might as well try it'”. England achieved their eleventh consecutive victory by defeating the Pumas and enters the Six Nations as a true title contender. “I am very happy for the team that they have won four out of four this month. It’s a great way to finish,” said Ojomoh. “It has been a very good campaign by a very well-knit team. It’s good to be a part of it.”
