“A year ago, people were going crazy about a crisis in the center,” Ojomoh said after winning his second international match, as Steve Borthwick’s team completed an autumn sweep.<\/p>Max Ojomoh<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n“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.\n\nIt’s a very competitive position, so there are many contenders for a position in the field. If you are in shape, you move forward.\n\nAfter opening the scoring with a try in the 10th minute, he set up tries in each half for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Henry Slade.\n\nFeyi-Waboso ran after catching Ojomoh’s kick pass, while Slade benefited from his teammate’s run and pass to score a crucial try.\n\n

“My favorite part was the cross kick because I’ve never done that in the Prem,” Ojomoh said.<\/p>Max Ojomoh<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n“I’ve tried it when I’ve had penalty advantage and missed them all, so it was a great moment for it to work. And to kick it to a very good friend, Manny [Feyi-Waboso] — I’m glad he scored the try.\n\nI was very surprised by the pass. I saw Sladey and thought ‘nothing to lose, better to try’.\n\nEngland accumulated its eleventh consecutive victory by defeating the Pumas and enters the Six Nations as a true title contender.\n\n

“I’m very pleased for the team that they’ve got four out of four this month. It’s a great note to finish on,” said Ojomoh.<\/p>Max Ojomoh<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n“It has been a very good campaign for a very well-knit team. It’s good to be a part of it.”","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
