New York Giants' Victor Cruz says he is excited for his side's game at Twickenham against the Los Angeles Rams.

The wide receiver is set to join his team-mates in playing the brand new Rams side, who have recently re-located from St Louis, on October 23 as they are set to play the first NFL match ever at the English home of rugby - Twickenham Stadium.

And Cruz says he is looking forward to the historic fixture.

"We're excited about it. We understand how momentous this is not only for the NFL but for the UK," he told Sky Sports News HQ.

"For Londoners to go out and see a team like ourselves, there's huge NFL fans over here as we've realised (in London) for a few days now and they're as excited as we are."
