Israel Folau has been given express instructions to get off his wing, go roaming and make an impact as the Wallabies hunger for a drought-breaking success in New Zealand on Saturday night.
A wasted luxury in Bledisloe I when he barely touched the ball, Folau has a licence to venture infield in an attempt to wreak havoc with All Black defenders at Westpac Stadium.
The Wallabies' most experienced backs, Will Genia and Adam Ashley-Cooper, both revealed the coaching staff had detailed how both the dual international and fellow winger James O'Connor were to pop up in different locations and situations.
"Israel has been given that licence to roam the field and look for the ball and get involved," Genia said. "He is a guy we want to be touching the ball as much as possible."
It can be far easier said than done, especially as the rugby novice is still coming to terms with wing play following one electrifying Super Rugby season at fullback for NSW.
Folau stayed on his sideline in the 47-29 loss in Sydney when the All Blacks expertly directed play away from his wing and also cut off the supply line.
Former Wallabies fullback Chris Latham, who played many of his early Tests out wide, admitted it's a tricky business for wingers who don't want to abandon their patch in case of a gilt-edged opportunity.
"It's a fine line," Latham told AAP. "It's highlighted when you look at the greats - guys like Joe Roff, Ben Tune and Campo.
"They had the ability to pop up anywhere and get the ball.
"That's the difference between a winger who is world class and a good winger who can finish (tries)."
Contrasting the fortunes between the two sides, All Blacks winger Ben Smith - a star fullback for the Highlanders - scored three tries last weekend without leaving his sideline.
Ashley-Cooper admitted the onus was on him as centre to recognise where the best attacking opportunities lay for Folau and O'Connor, who did come off his wing to score the Wallabies' consolation second try in Sydney.
"It would be rude not to use these guys," he said. "That requires smart decisions and a lot of communication from the guys inside you," Ashley-Cooper said.
The Wallabies, who must win to keep the three-Test Bledisloe Cup series alive, last beat the All Blacks across the Tasman 12 long years ago in Dunedin.
Genia, whose Queensland Reds team boast a fine Kiwi record, dismissed the venue as a mental factor for Australia.
"It sounds silly but it's just a rugby ground," he said. "It's the same field, same posts, same lines.
"We play here all the time in Super Rugby."
They will do their utmost to unsettle fourth-choice playmaker Tom Taylor, who has played almost all his rugby at inside centre this season, in his Test debut to trigger a shaky Kiwi performance.
"We're going to do everything and anything we can to get the job done," Genia promised.
"I'm sick of losing and we want to do something about it."
