Two years ago, Italy turned up at Twickenham and played a tactical joker that had Dylan Hartley and James Haskell scrabbling through the sub-sections of the game's smallprint.
Eddie Jones compared their 'no-ruck' tactic that helped the visitors to a 10-5 half-time lead to Trevor Chappell's infamous under-arm delivery in a Trans-Tasman one-dayer in 1981.
There will be no exact repeat today - the laws have been tweaked to close that loophole - but Italy might still have something up their sleeve.

Twickenham, February 2017, some point through the first half....
Haskell: "Sir, can I just get some clarity? On the ruck thing, what do we need to do to make it a ruck?"
Poite: "I can't say. I am the referee, not a coach. You will find the solution probably with your coach, who has more ability than me to tell you what to do."
