The Crusaders RUFC are a charity squad, whose players have either had cancer themselves or have had a close family member that has. Their aim is to promote cancer awareness through the whole rugby community and show support to fellow ruggers that have had their lives impacted by cancer.

Under the rules of Golden Oldies Rugby Older players and fragile players were RED shorts and can't be tackled.
