Feyi-Waboso burns bright as England energy endorses Borthwick

That's what Bongi Mbonambi described it as.

After scraping past Steve Borthwick's side in the 2023 Rugby World Cup semi-final, the South Africa hooker was scathing of England's back-slapping and celebrating of in-game wins.

By then, it had already become something of a meme. Back row Ben Earl pumping his fist to celebrate Ireland's crooked line-out throw in a pre-tournament warm-up was a particular source of online mockery.

But, while it isn't the diesel grunt that can win matches on its own, "plastic energy" is still something.

It is the body language that shows mindset and intent, that a team's pilot light is on and burning bright.
