Crusaders make changes to side for London clash

1:48 pm on 26 March 2011

The Crusaders have made two changes to the team to play the Sharks in the historic Super Rugby match at Twickenham on Monday morning.

Loosehead prop Wyatt Crockett replaces Ben Franks and former All Black wing Zac Guildford comes in for Adam Whitelock.

Guildford will play just his second game of the season after coming off the bench against the Highlanders at Carisbrook last weekend, following a hamstring injury which had kept him out of rugby until that point.

About $NZ11 from every ticket sold will be donated to the Red Cross Christchurch Earthquake appeal.

It is the first time a Super Rugby match has been held outside of the three SANZAR countries.
