Default Mitchell switches from fullback to wing

Wallabies speed machine Drew Mitchell's record-breaking World Cup has triggered his switch from fullback to the wing for the 2008 Super 14 season.

Mitchell has swapped with good mate Cameron Shepherd in the Western Force backline and is hoping the move continues his try-spree and helps cement a Test berth.

The 23-year-old crossed seven times in four pool matches as a winger in the World Cup in France, breaking David Campese's 16-year Wallabies record, in a performance that changed his mind about the position.

Previously a reluctant winger after playing all his junior and club rugby at fullback, Mitchell said he now felt at home out wide and would savour the extra attacking chances.
