This marks a interesting aspect of the English team's November perfect record that there were no debutants earned their first cap throughout the recent campaign, something not seen in 25 years. Yet, the performance of Max Ojomoh showing against Argentina while securing his second cap felt like the breakthrough of a major talent.

Star Performance in Hard-Fought Victory

He proved to be the key player in what was England's most challenging performance of the autumn. He scored the opening touchdown before setting up the other 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 equally eye-catching, concluding a fine debut performance at Twickenham for the young player.

He has the sort of triple threat that every manager would want from their inside-centre. He can run, kick and pass, and he has featured at number ten and at both centre positions for Bath this season.

Rapid Ascent and Upcoming Opportunities

Only a little over a week since Steve Borthwick might have felt he had discovered his centre partnership for the future. But, the best compliment that can be paid to Ojomoh is that Borthwick might need to think again. Ojomoh was initially selected to an England squad four years ago, but had to bide his time until the final match of the overseas trip to make his debut. Injuries to other players created the opportunity for him to begin here, and he surely will be in contention for a further appearance when England reconvene to begin their championship quest in the new year.

• Versatile Skillset: Excels at fly-half and centre.
• Crucial Input: Scored one try and set up two more.
• Timely Impact: Stepped up when teammates were unavailable.

Team Background and Wider Implications

How would England have fared against their opponents without Ojomoh? Certainly they had some fortune and maybe it is no coincidence that he was their best player. England experienced an natural decline in energy following a significant victory over the All Blacks. Maybe the coach ought to have freshened things up.

A balanced view is needed, however. It is tempting to lambast England for their inability to bring much intensity into this contest, or for nearly losing a game they were dominating. But, this result completes a perfect record of four autumn fixtures for the initial occasion since recent years. The year ends with 11 straight wins after beginning with a loss. The team is halfway through the four-year tournament plan and the situation look much more positive for the coach than they did previously.

Squad Depth and Long-Term Strategy

The manager gives the impression that, two years out from the global tournament, he knows the core group of the squad he will bring to the host nation. Of course, 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 benefit because it posed an issue for his preceding coach, who struggled when it was clear that certain players were not going to feature in his plans. He seems to have taken action sooner, preventing the torrid beginning that affected the squad in the past.

Player rankings seem like they are for sailors of yesteryear, but coaches swear by them and the coach can be satisfied with his. Under different circumstances, the team might be dealing with a loss after a gut-wrenching narrow loss. That they were not owes plenty to Ojomoh, luck, and the strength of England's bench. As the coach plans the route to the championship, he has positive momentum after 11 wins in a row, and therefore we can forgive the lack of quality of the recent display.
