Max Ojomoh Provides Sparkling Highlight for English Side to Mark Emergence on Grand Platform.
It is a curious feature of England's November clean sweep that no new players made their international debut during the recent campaign, a scenario not seen in 25 years. However, the performance of Max Ojomoh showing against the Argentine side while securing his second cap seemed to be the breakthrough of a future star.
Star Performance in Tight Victory
Ojomoh was the star turn in what was the team's least convincing outing of the November series. He finished off the first try before setting up the other two. His assist for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso via a delightful long pass was the highlight play of the opening period. Similarly, his popped pass to Henry Slade for the team's third try was just as eye-catching, concluding a fine debut performance at Twickenham for the 25-year-old.
Ojomoh possesses the kind of triple threat that all coaches would want from their inside-centre. His abilities include running, kicking, and passing, and he has featured at number ten and at multiple midfield roles for his club this campaign.
Quick Rise and Upcoming Prospects
It is just eight days since the head coach might have felt he had finally unearthed his centre partnership for the future. However, the highest praise that can be given to the young star is that Borthwick may have to think again. He was first called up to an England squad four years ago, but had to bide his time until the last game of the summer tour to earn his first cap. Fitness issues to other players created the opportunity for Ojomoh to start here, and he surely will be in contention for a third cap when England regroup to begin their Six Nations quest in the coming months.
- Versatile Skillset: Can play fly-half and midfield.
- Key Contributions: Notched a touchdown and assisted two.
- Important Performance: Stepped up when others were injured.
Team Context and Wider Implications
Where might the team have been against Argentina without Ojomoh? Undoubtedly they rode their luck and perhaps it is not surprising that he was their best player. England experienced an inevitable drop-off in intensity following a major win over the All Blacks. Maybe Borthwick should have freshened things up.
A balanced view is needed, though. It is tempting to criticize England for their failure to bring much intensity into this match, or for nearly losing a game they were controlling. However, this result marks a perfect record of November matches for the first time since 2016. The year ends with 11 straight wins after beginning with a loss. We are midway in the World Cup cycle and things look considerably rosier for the coach than they did previously.
Squad Depth and Future Planning
Borthwick gives the impression that, with time remaining from the global tournament, he understands the vast majority of the squad he will take to Australia. Naturally, there will be the odd bolter. Yet there are very few existing players of the squad who are not in contention for the 2027 tournament.
That represents an benefit because it posed an issue for his preceding coach, who found it difficult when it became apparent that veterans were not going to feature in his plans. He seems to have grasped the nettle earlier, avoiding the torrid beginning that affected the team in the previous cycle.
Player rankings sound like they belong to sailors of yesteryear, but managers swear by them and the coach can be happy with his. On another day, the team might be dealing with a loss after a heartbreaking late defeat. That they were not is largely due to the young star, luck, and the quality of England's substitutes. While the coach plans the route to the championship, he has positive momentum after 11 wins in a row, and therefore we can forgive the lack of quality of this performance.
