More than 1000 rugby fans have taken part in the world's largest scrum last to mark the start of ticket sales for Rugby World Cup 2015 - including some top international players.
Former All Black Piri Weepu and former England captains Phil Vickery and Lawrence Dallaglio were among the 1008-strongcrowd taking part in the scrum at Twickenham Stadium last week, an England Rugby spokeswoman said.
Among the participants, who beat the previous record of 946, were rugby players and official volunteers - who called themselves "the pack", the spokeswoman said.
Up to one million tickets for 48 matches of Rugby World Cup 2015 are on general sale until September 29.
