Borthwick Praises Pollock as England Down Australia with Impact Substitute
Coach Steve Borthwick hails Henry Pollock as a ‘ball of energy’ after the back-rowman’s decisive try helps England beat Australia 25-7
England coach Steve Borthwick described Henry Pollock as a “ball of energy” after the young forward came off the bench to score a key try and help England to a convincing 25-7 victory over Australia at Twickenham.
Pollock entered the match around the 50-minute mark, energising the side as England secured four tries to one in difficult, wet conditions.
Borthwick praised Pollock’s impact and character, saying: “I love having that character in the squad.
We’ve got a great blend of personalities developing within the team.”
The try was Pollock’s third international score in only his fifth cap, and his performance underlined England’s growing depth.
The coach confirmed that Pollock’s versatility is under consideration, revealing that plans are already in motion to deploy the back-row dynamo in a wider role such as wing as part of a broader strategy to add speed and flexibility.
The win extends England’s momentum in the Autumn Nations Series and demonstrates Borthwick’s emphasis on energy and bench strength in key phases.
With rising stars like Pollock stepping up, the squad appears more confident and better equipped to execute Borthwick’s evolving tactical vision.
