Eddie Jones believes audacious innovation is required if England are to succeed in World Cup year with Jack Nowell's conversion from wing to openside flanker just one idea under serious consideration.
Jones will enter the looming Guinness Six Nations armed with the conviction that only left-field thinking, in combination with a strong command of the basics, can challenge the modern game's highly-structured defences.
Selecting a ninth forward is a possibility, but more likely is the elevation of versatile Exeter three-quarter Nowell into the back row where Jones predicts he would thrive as a hybrid flanker due to his skill-set.
