Feyi-Waboso burns bright as England energy endorses Borthwick
Immanuel Feyi-Waboso's blistering first half display provides England fans with a glimpse of what could be in a much-needed statement of faith in coach Steve Borthwick.
South Africa's Bongi Mbonambi once dismissed England's "plastic energy" following their World Cup semi-final loss, but England's performance against Australia proved otherwise. The team's body language, exemplified by celebrations from players like Ben Earl and Maro Itoje, indicated a burning pilot light. Ben Curry's powerful tackle, full-back George Furbank's ball-playing smarts, and Henry Slade's precise play were just a few examples of the team's determination.
Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, who had been out with an ankle injury, showcased his Test match mojo, making 113m from eight carries in just 32 minutes before being replaced. His performance was crucial, as England's victory over the Wallabies bolstered confidence in coach Steve Borthwick and his players.
