176th Super Rugby game

Crockett to make Super Rugby history

The Crusaders will take on Japan's Sunwolves in Christchurch on Friday night.

Crockett will overtake former All Blacks team mate Keven Mealamu's record for the most capped player.

The Cantabrian also holds the record for the most Super Rugby games for one team.

Crusaders coach Scott Robertson has made a number of changes to the side which comes off a by-week with only five players in the 23 remaining in the same position.
