England head coach Stuart Lancaster has divided opinion by putting Leicester Tigers centre Manu Tuilagi on the wing for tomorrow's crucial second Test against New Zealand in Dunedin.
It will be the 23-year-old's first start out of position for his country in 23 appearances.
During that time, Tuilagi has scored 11 tries and made four assists from the centres.
He is one of two Tigers players in the starting XV, with Geoff Parling in the second row. Scrum-half Ben Youngs and new signing Freddie Burns are on the bench as England look to level the series.
Tuilagi's controversial move to the flanks has split opinion among pundits and fans.
Although some have questioned moving one of the world's best centres to the wing to accommodate Luther Burrell and Billy Twelvetrees in midfield, Lancaster said he made the move to get a "balance" in the back line.
"I guess what we've now got is some real quality in the centres who can get the ball to him (Tuilagi)," said Lancaster.
"We have got that balance in our back line we've always looked for, which is pace, power, ball-carrying and footballing ability.
"Luther Burrell can do things and distribute in ways Manu couldn't."
Lancaster said Tuilagi was "happy to do what was best for the team" – and it is a team that includes one of the strongest benches England have been able to muster in a long while.
The likes of Courtney Lawes, Dylan Hartley and Billy Vunipola will be desperate to show they deserve a place back in the starting XV after losing their spots, while Tigers duo Youngs and Burns will be smarting at being dropped.
James Haskell and Kyle Eastmond do not even make the bench after wonderful performances in the first Test.
What is for sure is that England have the sort of strength in depth that most countries would long for, and Lancaster's decision to throw Tuilagi out on the wing is a gutsy one that shows attacking intent.
The All Blacks have made one change, with Julian Savea coming in for Israel Dagg.
