🔗 Share this article Ojomoh Delivers Champagne Highlight for England to Signify Arrival on Grand Platform. This marks a interesting feature of England's autumn clean sweep that there were no debutants earned their first cap throughout the recent campaign, a scenario not seen in 25 years. However, the performance of Max Ojomoh showing against Argentina while securing his second appearance seemed to be the arrival of a future star. Standout Performance in Hard-Fought Victory Ojomoh was the star turn in what was the team's least convincing outing of the autumn. He finished off the first try before creating the remaining two. The setup for his teammate via a exquisite cross-field kick was the highlight play of the opening period. Likewise, his quick offload to the center for England's final score was just as eye-catching, capping off a fine first outing at Twickenham for the 25-year-old. He has the sort of versatile skillset that all coaches desire from their midfield player. His abilities include running, kicking, and passing, and he has appeared at fly-half and at multiple midfield roles for his club this season. Rapid Rise and Upcoming Opportunities Only a little over a week since the head coach might have felt he had finally unearthed his centre partnership for the long term. But, the highest praise that can be paid to the young star is that Borthwick might need to reconsider. He was first called up to an England squad four years ago, but had to wait until the last game of the overseas trip to make his debut. Fitness issues to teammates created the opportunity for him to start here, and he surely will be in consideration for a third cap when England reconvene to begin their Six Nations quest in the new year. Versatile Skillset: Can play fly-half and centre. Key Contributions: Notched a touchdown and assisted two. Important Performance: Stepped up when teammates were injured. Team Background and Broader Implications Where might England have been against Argentina without Ojomoh? Undoubtedly they had some fortune and perhaps it is not surprising that he was their best player. The team experienced an natural decline in energy following a significant victory over New Zealand. Maybe Borthwick ought to have freshened things up. A balanced view is needed, however. One might be inclined to lambast England for their inability to bring much urgency into this match, or for almost throwing away a fixture they were controlling. But, this outcome marks a clean sweep of November matches for the initial occasion since 2016. The year concludes with eleven consecutive victories after beginning with a defeat. The team is midway in the four-year tournament plan and the situation look much more positive for the coach than they did previously. Squad Depth and Long-Term Strategy Borthwick appears that, with time remaining from the World Cup, he understands the vast majority of the squad he will take to the host nation. Of course, there will be the odd bolter. But there are not many existing players of the roster who are not on track for the upcoming event. That represents an advantage because it was a problem for his predecessor, who struggled when it became apparent that certain players were not going to play in his strategy. Borthwick seems to have grasped the nettle sooner, preventing the torrid beginning that plagued the team in the previous cycle. Depth charts sound like they belong to seafarers of the past, but managers swear by them and the coach can be satisfied with his. On another day, the team might be nursing their wounds after a heartbreaking late defeat. The fact they avoided that owes plenty to Ojomoh, fortune, and the quality of the substitutes. While Borthwick plots a course to the Six Nations, he has wind in England's sails after an unbeaten run, and therefore we can forgive the paucity of this performance.
