WEYBRIDGE, England (Reuters) - Joe Moody has replaced Wyatt Crockett at loosehead prop in the only change to New Zealand's starting side for Saturday's World Cup semi-final against South Africa at Twickenham.

Crockett suffered a groin injury and was replaced in the first half of last weekend's 62-13 quarter-final win over France. Ben Franks will take Moody's place on the replacements bench.
