Taulupe Faletau would have no problems moving to No 6 if it means lining up alongside his cousin Billy Vunipola for the British and Irish Lions.
England and Saracens star Vunipola is the favourite to be handed the Lions' Test No 8 shirt but he will face plenty of competition in what promises to be a ferocious battle for back-row starting places.
Vunipola served further notice of his explosive game-breaking powers with a brilliant display in Saracens' European Champions Cup final victory over Clermont Auvergne at Murrayfield two days ago.
Some pundits are talking about both players starting the Tests this summer, with Wales and Bath No 8 Faletau featuring at blindside flanker, a position he is not familiar with but a move he would be happy to make.
"Billy was immense at the weekend," Faletau said. "He has been playing really well, and I am sure he will do that on tour.
"It is competition between us. It is healthy for me and him and the other back-row men.
"I would have no problems with that (playing six). If it means playing for the Lions, then I would not say no.
"Professionally, I have not played six, no. I have played seven a couple of times, though. For Wales there, too.
"With the injuries I had in the season, I have had a good run of games towards the end of the season, and it has helped.
"The end goal is the Test matches and winning those. But we have to get through those first (tour) games and get into the All Blacks at the end.
"We are going to have to be intense for 80 minutes to compete against them.
"Their (replacements') bench can make a difference, but the quality here is more than capable of matching that and being the impact we need.
"The group of boys in the squad is amazing. We have great talent, and everyone has a good mindset."
