Four players Steve Borthwick should call-up after England A dismantle Ireland A

Tom Pearson – The all-action flanker England needs

Pearson, who joined Northampton Saints from London Irish last summer, continues to enhance his growing reputation.

The 24-year-old is an explosive carrier, making serious yardage every time he got his hands on the ball. Whether smashing into contact or keeping play alive with offloads, Pearson added dynamism to England’s attack and looks primed for a senior call-up.

Max Ojomoh – The playmaking centre England has been missing

Bath’s Max Ojomoh delivered a performance that will have caught the attention of England’s selectors. Son of former England international Steve Ojomoh, the 23-year-old showcased his versatility in midfield, stepping in as a first receiver and linking well with his teammates.

His ability to carry hard, distribute, and offload in tight spaces gave England a creative spark in an area where they have struggled. While his influence waned as conditions worsened, his first-half display was enough to underline his Test credentials.
