It is a interesting aspect of England's November clean sweep that there were no debutants earned their international debut throughout the recent campaign, something not seen in 25 years. Yet, Max Ojomoh's display against the Argentine side while earning his second cap seemed to be the arrival of a future star.

Star Display in Tight Victory

Ojomoh was the star turn in what was the team's most challenging outing of the November series. He scored the first try before creating the remaining two. His assist for his teammate via a exquisite cross-field kick was the champagne moment of the opening period. Likewise, his quick offload to Henry Slade for the team's final score was equally eye-catching, capping off a excellent first outing at Twickenham for the young player.

Ojomoh possesses the sort of triple threat that every manager desire from their midfield player. He can run, kick and pass, and he has featured at fly-half and at multiple midfield roles for Bath this season.

Rapid Rise and Upcoming Opportunities

Only eight days since the head coach might have felt he had discovered his midfield duo for the future. However, the highest praise that can be given to the young star is that the coach might need to reconsider. Ojomoh was initially selected to an national team four years ago, but had to wait until the final match of the summer tour to earn his first cap. Injuries 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 start their Six Nations quest in the coming months.

• Versatile Skillset: Can play number ten and midfield.
• Crucial Input: Scored one try and set up two more.
• Important Performance: Delivered when others were injured.

Team Background and Wider Implications

Where might England have fared against their opponents without him? Certainly they had some fortune and perhaps it is not surprising that he was their best player. The team experienced an natural decline in intensity following a major win over New Zealand. Perhaps Borthwick should have made more changes.

Some perspective is needed, though. One might be inclined to criticize England for their failure to inject much intensity into this match, or for almost throwing away a game they were dominating. However, this outcome marks a perfect record of four autumn fixtures for the initial occasion since 2016. The year ends with eleven consecutive victories after starting with a loss. The team is midway in the four-year tournament plan and things look considerably rosier for the coach than they did previously.

Squad Depth and Future Planning

Borthwick gives the impression that, two years out from the global tournament, he understands the core group of the squad he will bring to the host nation. Naturally, there will be the surprise inclusion. Yet there are not many existing players of the roster who are not in contention for the 2027 tournament.

That represents an advantage because it posed an issue for his preceding coach, who found it difficult when it was clear that veterans were not going to play in his plans. Borthwick seems to have taken action earlier, preventing the torrid start that plagued the squad in the previous cycle.

Player rankings sound like they belong to seafarers of the past, but coaches rely on them and the coach can be happy with his. On another day, England might be dealing with a loss after a gut-wrenching narrow loss. The fact they avoided that is largely due to Ojomoh, fortune, and the strength of the bench. While Borthwick plots a course to the Six Nations, he has wind in England's sails after 11 wins in a row, and therefore we can overlook the paucity of the recent display.
