England will be making a flying visit to the South for the test next month, mimicking what most visiting teams have done in past years.
It is a month today until the English clash with the All Blacks in the second test of the series at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
The England squad is due to arrive in the city on June 12, just two days before the test, with the whole squad coming to Dunedin.
The side will presumably spend the start of the week in Auckland, where it plays the first test of the series at Eden Park on June 7.
It will have just the one training run at Forsyth Barr Stadium the day before the test.
The touring side is yet to be selected and the squad may change from the first test to the next as players who have competed in the English premiership final become available.
The All Black itinerary for the week is yet to be finalised but it is expected the team will be in the city for the whole week leading up to the match.
England's decision to not come to Dunedin until late in the test week mirrors the actions of the two previous visiting sides to play tests under the roof at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
The Wallabies spent some time in Queenstown last year before travelling to Dunedin by bus on the Friday, the day before the test.
The side was subsequently well beaten by the All Blacks in the Bledisloe Cup test.
In 2012, the Springboks did not arrive in Dunedin until the Thursday before the test and lost the match, complaining their goal-kicker could not adjust to the conditions in the covered stadium.
Dunedin and visiting rugby sides do not appear to have found much love.
Most Super 15 teams tend to spend the week before a match at Forsyth Barr Stadium based in Queenstown.
The only team in the past couple of years who have spent the lead-up to the Dunedin match actually in the city has been the Western Force.
The side managed to beat the Highlanders 31-29 in March this year.
