This marks a curious aspect of England's autumn clean sweep that no new players made their international debut throughout the series of matches, a scenario not seen in a quarter of a century. However, the performance of Max Ojomoh display against the Argentine side while securing his second cap seemed to be the arrival of a future star.

Standout Display in Hard-Fought Win

He proved to be the star turn in what was England's least convincing performance of the November series. He finished off the first try before creating the remaining two. His assist for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso via a delightful cross-field kick was the champagne moment of the opening period. Similarly, his quick offload to Henry Slade for England's third try was just as impressive, capping off a excellent first outing at Twickenham for the 25-year-old.

He has the kind of triple threat that every manager would want from their midfield player. He can run, kick and pass, and he has featured at number ten and at both centre positions for his club this campaign.

Rapid Ascent and Upcoming Opportunities

Only eight days since Steve Borthwick 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 the coach may have to think again. Ojomoh was initially selected to an England squad previously, but had to bide his time until the final match of the summer tour to earn his first cap. Injuries to teammates paved the way for him to start here, and he undoubtedly will be in consideration for a further appearance when England reconvene to start their championship quest in the coming months.

• Multiple Abilities: Excels at fly-half and midfield.
• Crucial Input: Notched a touchdown and assisted two.
• Important Performance: Delivered when others were injured.

Team Background and Wider Implications

Where might the team have fared against Argentina without him? Undoubtedly they had some fortune and perhaps it is no coincidence that he was their standout performer. The team experienced an natural decline in energy following a significant victory over New Zealand. Perhaps Borthwick should have made more changes.

A balanced view is required, however. One might be inclined to lambast England for their failure to inject much urgency into this match, or for almost throwing away a fixture they were dominating. However, this outcome completes a clean sweep of November matches for the initial occasion since recent years. The year ends with eleven consecutive victories after beginning with a defeat. We are halfway through the four-year tournament plan and things look much more positive for the coach than they did previously.

Player Pool and Long-Term Strategy

The manager gives the impression that, with time remaining from the World Cup, he knows the vast majority of the team he will take to the host nation. Naturally, there will be the surprise inclusion. Yet there are very few existing players of the roster 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 was clear that certain players were not going to play in his strategy. He seems to have grasped the nettle sooner, preventing the torrid beginning that affected the team in the previous cycle.

Depth charts seem like they are for seafarers of the past, but managers swear by them and the coach can be happy with his. On another day, the team might be dealing with a loss after a heartbreaking late defeat. That they were not is largely due to Ojomoh, luck, and the strength of the substitutes. While the coach 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.
