The Crusaders' injury-crisis has reached the point that the Super Rugby Pacific side is recalling ageing former All Blacks to bolster the ranks.

Midfielder Ryan Crotty is back training with the team in Christchurch this week. The 34-year-old last played Super Rugby four years ago.

Crotty's inclusion follows that of 39-year-old former All Black John Afoa, who was called into the starting side last week.
