SBW cleared for Crusaders clash

Cape Town - Sonny Bill Williams has been cleared to start for the Chiefs at inside centre in their Super Rugby showdown with the Crusaders in Christchurch on Saturday.

Kick-off is at 09:35 SA time.

Williams was a late scratching with a knee complaint against the Blues a fortnight ago, but has been given the 'ok' to start in a mouth-watering, head-to-head showdown with Dan Carter.
