The Exeter wing (right, training this week) will go up against his native Wales at Twickenham tomorrow, amid stinging criticism from Warren Gatland for choosing England over his birth nation.
England boss Borthwick hailed Feyi-Waboso as a special talent with a big future, insisting the 21-year-old's Test elevation is no flash in the pan.
Rival head coach Gatland claimed coaches in Wales were "disappointed" in Feyi-Waboso rejecting their advances, but England boss Borthwick has risen above that attempted narrative. He has instead opted to focus on the reasons why he drafted the rookie into his Six Nations squad, handing him a Test debut off the bench in last weekend's 27-24 win in Italy.
