This marks a interesting feature of England's autumn perfect record that there were no debutants earned their first cap throughout the recent campaign, a scenario not seen in 25 years. However, Max Ojomoh's display against the Argentine side while earning his second cap felt like the arrival of a future star.

Standout Display in Tight Victory

He proved to be the key player in what was the team's most challenging outing of the autumn. He finished off the first try before creating the remaining two. The setup for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso via a exquisite long pass was the highlight play of the first half. Likewise, his quick offload to the center for the team's final score was equally eye-catching, concluding a excellent debut performance at Twickenham for the 25-year-old.

Ojomoh possesses the kind of versatile skillset that all coaches desire from their midfield player. He can run, kick and pass, and he has featured at fly-half and at multiple midfield roles for his club this campaign.

Quick Ascent and Upcoming Prospects

It is just eight days since Steve Borthwick could have believed he had finally unearthed his centre partnership for the long term. But, the best compliment that can be given to the young star is that Borthwick might need to think again. He was initially selected to an national team previously, but had to bide his time until the final match of the overseas trip to earn his first cap. Fitness issues to other players created the opportunity for Ojomoh to start here, and he undoubtedly will be in consideration for a further appearance when the squad regroup to begin their championship quest in the new year.

• Multiple Abilities: Excels at number ten and midfield.
• Crucial Input: Notched a touchdown and assisted two.
• Important Performance: Stepped up when teammates were injured.

Squad Background and Broader Significance

Where might England have fared against their opponents without Ojomoh? Certainly they rode their luck and maybe it is not surprising that he was their best player. England showed an inevitable drop-off in intensity following a significant victory over the All Blacks. Perhaps Borthwick ought to have freshened things up.

Some perspective is needed, however. One might be inclined to lambast England for their inability to inject much intensity into this match, or for nearly losing a fixture they were dominating. However, this outcome marks a clean sweep of four autumn fixtures for the first time since 2016. The year concludes with 11 straight wins after starting with a defeat. The team is midway in the four-year tournament plan and things look considerably rosier for Borthwick than they did at this stage.

Player Pool and Future Planning

Borthwick appears that, two years out from the World Cup, he knows the vast majority of the team he will take to Australia. Of course, there will be the surprise inclusion. Yet there are not many current members of the squad who are not on track for the upcoming event.

That represents an advantage because it posed an issue for his preceding coach, who struggled when it was clear that certain players were not going to play in his plans. He seems to have grasped the nettle sooner, avoiding the torrid start that plagued the squad in the past.

Depth charts sound like they are for seafarers of yesteryear, but coaches swear by them and the coach can be happy with his. On another day, the team might be nursing their wounds after a heartbreaking narrow loss. That they were not owes plenty to Ojomoh, luck, and the quality of England's substitutes. As the coach plots a course to the championship, he has wind in England's sails after 11 wins in a row, and as a result we can overlook the paucity of this performance.
