Borthwick tells centre Ojomoh to combine talent with physical grit
England coach Steve Borthwick has challenged Max Ojomoh to back up his natural skills with physical toughness ahead of Saturday's match against Japan.
England rugby centre Max Ojomoh has been recalled to the starting lineup for the upcoming game against Japan after proving himself in the 'A' team following an initial exclusion. Head coach Steve Borthwick praised the Bath player's exceptional passing and vision, but emphasized that modern centres must also bring an uncompromising physical work rate and defensive impact. Ojomoh will play alongside experienced fly-half George Ford, who returns to the number 10 jersey. Ford noted that his primary strategy is to distribute the ball effectively to give England's most athletic players maximum time and space to attack.
