It is a curious aspect of the English team's autumn clean sweep that no new players made their first cap during the series of matches, something not seen in 25 years. Yet, the performance of Max Ojomoh showing against the Argentine side while earning his second cap seemed to be the breakthrough of a major talent.

Star Performance in Hard-Fought Win

Ojomoh was the key player in what was England's least convincing outing of the autumn. He scored the opening touchdown before creating the remaining two. His assist for his teammate via a exquisite long pass was the highlight play of the first half. Likewise, his popped pass to Henry Slade for the team's third try was just as impressive, concluding a excellent debut performance at Twickenham for the young player.

Ojomoh possesses the sort of versatile skillset that every manager desire from their midfield player. His abilities include running, kicking, and passing, and he has appeared at fly-half and at both centre positions for Bath this season.

Quick Rise and Upcoming Prospects

It is just eight days since Steve Borthwick could have believed he had discovered his midfield duo for the future. However, the highest praise that can be paid to the young star is that the coach may have to reconsider. He was initially selected to an national team previously, but had to wait until the final match of the overseas trip to make his debut. Injuries to teammates created the opportunity for him to begin here, and he undoubtedly will be in consideration for a further appearance when England reconvene to begin their Six Nations quest in the new year.

• Multiple Abilities: Can play number ten and midfield.
• Key Contributions: Notched a touchdown and set up two more.
• Important Performance: Delivered when others were injured.

Team Background and Wider Implications

How would England have fared against Argentina without him? Certainly they rode their luck and maybe it is not surprising that he was their standout performer. England experienced an inevitable drop-off in energy following a major win over the All Blacks. Perhaps the coach ought to have made more changes.

Some perspective is needed, though. It is tempting to lambast England for their inability to bring much urgency into this match, or for almost throwing away a game they were controlling. However, this result marks a clean sweep of four autumn fixtures for the first time since recent years. The year ends with 11 straight wins after starting with a loss. The team is halfway through the World Cup cycle and the situation look much more positive for the coach than they did at this stage.

Player Pool and Future Planning

The manager appears that, two years out from the World Cup, he knows the core group of the team he will take to the host nation. Of course, there will be the surprise inclusion. Yet there are very few current members of the squad who are not in contention for the 2027 tournament.

This is an benefit because it posed an issue for his predecessor, who found it difficult when it became apparent that certain players were not going to play in his plans. He seems to have grasped the nettle sooner, avoiding the difficult start that plagued the team in the past.

Player rankings sound like they belong to seafarers of yesteryear, but managers swear by them and Borthwick can be happy with his. Under different circumstances, the team might be nursing their wounds after a heartbreaking narrow loss. The fact they avoided that owes plenty to Ojomoh, luck, and the strength of the substitutes. As the coach plots a course to the Six Nations, he has wind in England's sails after an unbeaten run, and therefore we can overlook the lack of quality of this performance.
