This marks a interesting aspect of the English team's November perfect record that no new players earned their international debut throughout the series of matches, something not seen in 25 years. Yet, the performance of Max Ojomoh display against the Argentine side while securing his second cap felt like the breakthrough of a future star.

Standout Performance in Hard-Fought Victory

Ojomoh was the star turn in what was the team's most challenging outing of the November series. He finished off the first try before creating the other two. His assist for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso via a exquisite cross-field kick was the champagne moment of the first half. Likewise, his popped pass to the center for England's final score was just as impressive, concluding a fine first outing at Twickenham for the young player.

He has the sort of triple threat that all coaches would want from their inside-centre. His abilities include running, kicking, and passing, and he has featured at fly-half and at multiple midfield roles for Bath this campaign.

Quick Ascent and Upcoming Prospects

It is just eight days since Steve Borthwick could have believed he had finally unearthed his midfield duo for the future. But, the highest praise 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 four years ago, 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 him to begin here, and he surely will be in consideration for a third cap when England reconvene to begin their Six Nations campaign in the new year.

• Multiple Abilities: Can play number ten and midfield.
• Crucial Input: Scored one try and set up two more.
• Timely Impact: Stepped up when teammates were injured.

Team Context and Broader Significance

How would the team have fared against their opponents without him? Undoubtedly they rode their luck and perhaps it is no coincidence that he was their best player. England experienced an natural decline in intensity following a significant victory over New Zealand. Perhaps the coach should have made more changes.

A balanced view is needed, though. It is tempting to criticize England for their inability to bring much intensity into this contest, or for almost throwing away a game they were controlling. But, this result completes a perfect record of four autumn fixtures for the first time since recent years. 2025 ends with eleven consecutive victories after beginning with a loss. The team is midway in the four-year tournament plan and things look considerably rosier for Borthwick than they did previously.

Squad Depth and Future Planning

Borthwick gives the impression that, two years out from the World Cup, he knows the vast majority of the team he will bring to the host nation. Naturally, there will be the odd bolter. But there are very few current members of the roster who are not in contention for the upcoming event.

This is 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 feature in his strategy. Borthwick seems to have taken action earlier, preventing the torrid beginning that plagued the squad in the previous cycle.

Depth charts seem like they are for seafarers of the past, but coaches rely on them and Borthwick can be happy with his. Under different circumstances, the team might be nursing their wounds after a heartbreaking narrow loss. That they were not is largely due to the young star, luck, and the quality of the bench. 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 paucity of the recent display.
