Immanuel Feyi-Waboso's blistering first-half display provided a glimpse of England's potential under coach Steve Borthwick in a dominant 45-22 victory over Australia. The Exeter wing, making his first Test appearance in nearly two years, was electric, making 113 metres from eight carries and beating seven defenders in just 32 minutes before being injured. England showed 'plastic energy' — the body language and mindset that signals intent — with Ben Earl, Jamie George, and Maro Itoje all visibly energized.
The win came amid reports of a player-coach rift, making this performance a crucial statement of faith. George Furbank, Henry Slade, and Seb Atkinson also contributed creatively, while Ben Curry delivered old-school physicality. Feyi-Waboso's ankle injury, sustained under Angus Bell, may sideline him for the Six Nations, a significant loss given his impact.
