Waratahs pose togater after beating the Rebels last month

On Wednesday 8 June, HSBC Waratahs fans joined with players and staff to set a new Guinness World Record for the biggest Rugby scrum.

The old record was 68, while an unofficial figure of 191 has also been found.

However a new mark of 197 was set at the Sydney Football Stadium – a fantastic effort from all involved.
