Max Ojomoh revealed that the great competition in England’s midfield was the inspiration behind his outstanding performance at the Allianz Stadium against Argentina.
Ojomoh, who came in as a last-minute replacement at inside center due to Fraser Dingwall’s injury, responded with a stellar performance that earned him the Player of the Match award. He scored a try and assisted on two others.
This situation presents a challenge for Steve Borthwick, the coach, ahead of the start of the Six Nations against Wales on February 7. Ojomoh, Dingwall, and Seb Atkinson are competing for a starting position in a position that has historically been problematic for England.
“Now I see Seb, Fraser, Ollie Lawrence, Luke Northmore and many players emerging in the number 12 position, 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 single spot in the field. If you’re in shape, you move forward.” After opening the scoring with a try in the 10th minute, Ojomoh assisted in tries by Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Henry Slade in each half. Feyi-Waboso scored after catching a precise pass from Ojomoh, while Slade benefited from his teammate’s run and pass to achieve a crucial try.“A year ago, people were going crazy about a crisis in the center,” Ojomoh said after winning his second cap, as Steve Borthwick’s team completed an autumn sweep.

“I tried it when I had a penalty advantage and they all went wrong, so it was a great moment for it to work. And to kick it to a very good friend like 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'”. England achieved their eleventh consecutive victory by defeating the Pumas and is emerging as a contender for the Six Nations title.“My favorite part was the cross pass because I had never done it in the Prem,” Ojomoh said.

“It has been a very good campaign for a very well-knit team. It’s good to be a part of it.”“I’m very happy for the team that they’ve won four out of four this month. It’s a great way to finish,” Ojomoh said.
