    Leicester Fainga'anuku believes the switch to test rugby in the midfield isn't too daunting

    Leicester Fainga'anuku believes the switch to test rugby in the midfield isn't too daunting


    Fainga'anuku played most of the win over Ireland in Chicago at centre, having previously been used on the wing.

    Expected to reprise that role for Sunday's test against Scotland, Fainga'anuku says his two seasons in the 13 jersey for Toulon in France smoothed the path.



    The All Blacks side to play Scotland will be named tomorrow night .
