Max Ojomoh Replaces Fraser Dingwall as England Takes on Argentina in Exciting Showdown
Max Ojomoh has stepped up to replace Fraser Dingwall as England prepares to face Argentina in an exhilarating match. This decision follows Ojomoh’s notable debut for the national team earlier this summer.
Player Background and Performance
Ojomoh has dedicated significant effort to enhance his fitness levels and defensive capabilities. His commitment aims to secure more consistent playing time in England’s midfield.
At the club level, he played a crucial role in helping Bath clinch the English title last season. Under the guidance of attack coach Lee Blackett, who has since joined the England coaching staff, Ojomoh developed his skills significantly.
Max Ojomoh comes from a rugby family. His father, Steve Ojomoh, earned 12 caps for England as a loose forward. His last international game was in 1998 against New Zealand, where England faced a heavy defeat.
Argentina’s Squad Analysis
Argentina, on the other hand, has opted to keep Ojomoh’s Bath teammate, Santiago Carreras, among the substitutes. Carreras previously showcased his talent when he dramatically turned the game around against Scotland.
- Argentina trailed by 21 points but bounced back to win 33-24.
- Carreras played a pivotal role after substituting for starting fly-half Geronimo Prisciantelli.
The Argentine squad features notable players, including:
- Captain Julian Montoya, a former Leicester hooker now with Pau.
- Pablo Matera and Joaquin Oviedo, strong additions to the back row.
- Simon Benitez Cruz as scrum-half, pairing with Tomas Albornoz.
