He scored a try and assisted on two others.\n\nThis 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.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1123%2Fr1579584_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Max Ojomoh fue el Jugador del Partido contra Argentina.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n<em>Max Ojomoh was the Player of the Match against Argentina.<\/em>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;A year ago, people were going crazy about a crisis in the center,&#8221; Ojomoh said after winning his second <em>cap<\/em>, as Steve Borthwick&#8217;s team completed an autumn sweep.<\/p><cite>Ojomoh<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n&#8220;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.&#8221;\n\n&#8220;It&#8217;s a very competitive position, so there are many contenders for a single spot in the field.
