England will field a new centre pairing when they face Argentina at Twickenham on Sunday, with Bath's Max Ojomoh coming in for Fraser Dingwall. The 25-year-old, who won his only previous Test cap against the US in July, will partner Henry Slade alongside him, replacing the injured Ollie Lawrence.
Ojomoh has been hailed by England defence coach Richard Wigglesworth as an "excellent attacker" with vision and distribution skills that can move a backline into gear. He's also made big strides on defense, double-defending well and wanting to have an impact.
The Bath centre, who was challenged to become fitter and improve his defensive game in England's midfield after making his debut for the national team over the summer, will look to make a strong start against Argentina. Ojomoh won five league titles with Bath under attack coach Lee Blackett before joining up with Steve Borthwick at England.
Argentina have opted to keep Ojomoh's Bath teammate Santiago Carreras among their replacements, as they seek to exploit any weakness in the English backline. The Pumas will look to put pressure on England's midfield and target their centres to try and score tries.
England has a strong pack led by Joe Marler, George Ford at fly-half and Elliot Daly on the wing, but Argentina have some serious threats in Pablo Matera and Joaquin Oviedo to contend with.

. I mean, Bath's been doing alright under Lee Blackett, so I guess that's a good sign? 
England needs to step it up if they wanna take down Argentina - that pack is looking fierce with Marler, Ford & Daly 
. And don't even get me started on Matera & Oviedo... those guys are gonna give England some serious trouble 
!
! i've been following him for ages at bath and he's always had so much potential. i love how coach wigglesworth is giving him the nod - he's clearly seen something special in him 
️
he seems like a total game-changer, especially with his vision and distribution skills 
anyway, argentina's got some big threats of their own, like pablo matera and joaquin oviedo... can england's pack deal with that? 
️
Still, gotta say, Argentina's looking pretty stacked too - Pablo Matera's a beast on the field. 
And that Argentine pack... they're not messing around. England's gonna need to bring their A-game if they wanna take down Argentina. 
, but as long as England's defense holds up, we should be alright 
. I'm not sure what the plan is on attacking, but Slade and Ojomoh seem like a good combo 
... fingers crossed for Sunday! 
.
. I know he was challenged to step up his game, but it looks like he's risen to the occasion 
. max ojomoh got game tho, i read about him playin for bath and he's been doin pretty well. but argentina's gonna try and exploit any weakness in the english backline, that's defo a worry. hope max can step up and make an impact 
I think England's new centre pairing is gonna be 
, it's like they took a design from 2005 and never updated it. Can't even navigate to the comments section without hitting a billion ads first... 
. It's always the same old teams doing well in the same old tournaments... where's the excitement? 
Give me something new for once! 
. Still got faith in our boys though - they've got some serious talent on the pitch 
. Argentina's a tough one, been watching their scrums and I'm low-key worried 
. Can't stress enough how important defense is in this match... 
gonna need that to shut down Matera and Oviedo 
do u think england's pack is gonna be enough to take down argentina's threats on the wing?
