It is assumed that the 1st FO was already in the RHS and the captain in his LHS before the arrival of relief pilot. Then, captain rest. This 2nd FO would take the captain's place (LHS), but now the Pilot Flying would become the 1st FO from the RHS (not optimum).
That is what I understand from Lemurian "musical chair" ballet.
