Families of Jonah Lomu and Martin Crowe approve use of names for new T20 trophy

The Lomu-Crowe trophy is based on the design of a Maori adze and will be up for grabs when rugby and cricket stars play the inaugural "Black Clash" T20 match at Christchurch's Hagley Oval on January 25.

Created by renowned New Zealand artist Shane 'Spud' Dudley with the blessing of the families of the two Kiwi sporting legends, the trophy features a greenstone finish blade with steel and copper wire binding.

The Lomu-Crowe trophy was unveiled in Christchurch on Wednesday, along with the playing uniforms for  the Team Rugby and Team Cricket line-ups.
