🔗 Share this article Max Ojomoh Delivers Champagne Highlight for English Side to Signify Emergence on Grand Platform. It is a curious aspect of England's November clean sweep that there were no debutants made their first cap during the recent campaign, a scenario not seen in a quarter of a century. However, Max Ojomoh's showing against Argentina while securing his second appearance felt like the breakthrough of a major talent. Star Performance in Tight Victory Ojomoh was the key player in what was England's least convincing performance of the autumn. He finished off the opening touchdown before creating the other two. The setup for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso via a delightful long pass was the champagne moment of the first half. Similarly, his popped pass to the center for the team's third try was just as eye-catching, capping off a excellent first outing at the home stadium for the 25-year-old. He has the kind of triple threat that all coaches desire from their inside-centre. He can run, kick and pass, and he has appeared at number ten and at multiple midfield roles for Bath this campaign. Quick Ascent and Upcoming Prospects Only a little over a week since the head coach could have believed he had discovered his midfield duo for the future. However, the best compliment that can be given to the young star is that Borthwick may have to think again. He was first called up to an national team previously, but had to wait until the final match of the overseas trip to make his debut. Injuries to teammates paved the way for him to start here, and he surely will be in consideration for a further appearance when England regroup to start their championship campaign in the new year. Multiple Abilities: Can play fly-half and midfield. Key Contributions: Scored one try and set up two more. Important Performance: Delivered when teammates were unavailable. Squad Context and Wider Significance Where might England have fared against Argentina 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 significant victory over the All Blacks. Maybe Borthwick ought to have made more changes. Some perspective is needed, however. One might be inclined to criticize the side for their inability to inject much intensity into this contest, or for nearly losing a fixture they were controlling. But, this result completes a clean sweep of November matches for the first time since recent years. 2025 concludes with 11 straight wins after beginning with a defeat. The team is midway in the World Cup cycle and the situation look considerably rosier for the coach than they did at this stage. Squad Depth and Future Planning Borthwick appears that, with time remaining from the World Cup, he knows the vast majority of the team 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 on track for the 2027 tournament. This is an advantage because it was a problem for his preceding coach, who found it difficult when it became apparent that certain players were not going to feature in his plans. He seems to have grasped the nettle sooner, preventing the torrid start that affected the team in the past. Depth charts sound like they are for seafarers of the past, but coaches rely on them and the coach can be satisfied with his. Under different circumstances, the team might be dealing with a loss after a heartbreaking narrow loss. The fact they avoided that owes plenty to the young star, luck, and the strength of the bench. As the coach plans the route to the Six Nations, he has wind in England's sails after 11 wins in a row, and as a result we can overlook the lack of quality of this performance.
