Nigerian-rooted Feyi-Waboso featured as England hammered Australia 45-22 in a seven-try statement that silenced the doubters.
Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, the winger with Nigerian roots, was part of an England side that tore Australia apart 45-22 in a seven-try show of force. Wide men were finally trusted to play, and the result was a night of fearless, high-tempo rugby.
Henry Pollock was the heartbeat of the performance, and his energy drove England from the first whistle. Tries from George, Chessum and Heyes put the hosts in command in the first half, and the Wallabies never found a way back.
The backdrop made it sweeter. After a turbulent few days of reports that all was not well in Steve Borthwick's camp, England promised to answer on the pitch, and they did. Instead of the distracted, half-hearted hosts Australia may have expected, they got a hungry, united team.
Defence, discipline and desire were on display all game, and the attack looked far more adventurous. It was England's best all-round performance of the year and the most points they have ever put past Australia. There is still plenty to polish, but this was a loud message. The Wallabies, meanwhile, have serious questions to answer.
