Media opportunities

Crusaders media sessions during the 2009 season will be organised as follows:

While the Crusaders are in New Zealand there will be two sessions a week at Rugby Park, Malvern Street, St Albans, Christchurch.

If the team is playing on a Friday, the sessions will be Monday and Wednesday.

For a Saturday game, the sessions will be Monday and Thursday.

Monday is an open session, where footage and photographs can be taken throughout. For the second session of the week, please limit filming and photographs to the warm up/warm down part of training.

The sessions will be held immediately after training, which will start about 10.45am and run for approximately one hour.

Please note that these timings cannot be exact. It is best to turn up early.

Players and coaches will be available for interviews during the media sessions. Please send your requests (preferably by email) to media manager Patrick McKendry as early as possible.

The team will be put on this website at 10am on the morning of the Wednesday or Thursday session. It will be emailed to media outlets soon after.

When the team is abroad, manager Tony Thorpe is the media contact, but please try to contact Patrick with any queries first.

The travel details of the Crusaders will be put on this area of the website.
