All Blacks center Sonny Bill Williams said England is using his fellow code‑crosser Sam Burgess in the wrong role and that the English powerhouse would be better deployed as a flanker.
England coach Stuart Lancaster has the rugby league convert pencilled in as an inside centre for the World Cup hosts, but Williams believes that is an error.
Williams, a dual code international and former WBA heavyweight boxing champion, says Burgess's performances for club side Bath in the back row suggested that was where his future lay.
Meanwhile Burgess has been named in the bench for England when they take on Fiji at 7am this Saturday.
