The England international, who won the last of his 36 caps against Argentina during the 2019 Rugby World Cup, played through the pain with as Exeter won the European and domestic double in 2020

Speaking on The Good, The Bad and The Rugby, Nowell revealed: "I would like to change position one day as I get older.'

The winger, who has played a little bit at outside-centre, added: "Some wingers nowadays are so quick you know,.

"I'll always back myself to do a job, but obviously the bigger and older you get I'd be really keen to give centre another good go."

DID YOU KNOW? When Jack Nowell was called up for the British and Irish Lions in 2017, he became the first player to be called up from the Exeter Chiefs

Youngs is the son of former Leicester and England scrum-half Nick Youngs, and the elder brother of current Leicester and England scrum-half Ben Youngs. Originally a centre/winger he changed to play at hooker after advice from then Tigers' coach Heyneke Meyer.

What might surprise you is how rapid and small he was. Check this out.

Lomu started his rugby union career in the forwards, mostly as an openside flanker (no.7), sometimes to the blindside (no.6), before switching to the left wing in what he described as the "best move he could have made". Long story short, he's without a doubt the best winger of all-time.

Wilkinson started his career at Newcastle School of Rugby as an inside centre, competing for a place with international veterans such as Inga Tuigamala, and Lion Alan Tait. He then took over from Rob Andrew, who was made Falcons head coach (later Director of Rugby), as both their fly-half and goal kicker. The rest is history.

Williams started his junior career as a scrum-half at Amman United he joined Neath as a second-choice scrum-half. However, it became apparent to Lyn Jones, Neath's then-coach, that Williams simply could not be left out of the side, and placed him on the right wing. The rest is history with Williams retiring as Wales top try scorer

Sale Sharks coach Philippe Saint-André saw him primarily as a full-back, commenting after a strong performance from Foden against Newcastle Falcons, “If he’s not a full-back I will eat my French beret. Despite these ringing words of endorsement from his coach, Foden’s desire to play scrum half saw him sign for Northampton Saints on the basis of a promise to play him at his preferred position. Long story short, he’s back at fullback.
