Fly-half Dan Carter was surprised to be lining up at inside centre for the Bledisloe Cup clash with Australia in Hong Kong but the New Zealand star insisted he is relishing the challenge.

Carter, considered one of the finest stand-offs in world rugby, has been moved to number 12 for the encounter at Hong Kong Stadium to accommodate Stephen Donald following the 24-year-old's inspirational performance against the same opponents in Brisbane.

Donald was introduced for the final 30 minutes at Suncorp Stadium last month and helped the All Blacks launch a fightback that ultimately saw them edge the home side 28-24 and collect the 2008 Tri-Nations title.

Having been assured by the management the switch is only temporary, Carter was enthusiastic about the decision ahead of Saturday's contest.

"It's quite surreal actually," he said.

"It's where I'd played a couple of seasons professionally. It's a new challenge because it has been so long. I'm really looking forward to it.

"The coaches have made it clear it's not going to be a permanent move so that's good because I'm probably more suited to the number 10 jersey but that 30 minutes in Brisbane when Steve came on, he made a real difference and I think he really deserves his chance at having a start.

Why good news?

Well, if Donald and carter are going to share the 10and 12 role it means the inside center slot is taken upo for some time to come and Sam may as well stay here with us.
