Competition pushes us to a higher level – Max

MAX Ojomoh insists that England’s midfield riches inspired his outstanding Allianz Stadium debut against Argentina on Sunday.

Bath back Ojomoh was a late replacement at inside centre after Fraser Dingwall had been ruled out by a side strain, and the 25-year-old responded with a man-of-the-match performance in which he scored one try and created two more.

It leaves Steve Borthwick with a selection headache for the Six Nations opener against Wales on February 7 with Ojomoh, Dingwall and Gloucester's Seb Atkinson competing to start for what has been a problem position for England.

“A year ago, people were going crazy about a centre crisis” said Ojomoh, who won his second cap as Steve Borthwick’s men completed an autumn clean sweep.
