  The Guinness World Records' record for the largest rugby scrum consists of 1,008 participants at an event organized by England Rugby 2015 (UK) at Twickenham Stadium, London, UK, on 12 September 2014.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most rugby passes by a team in one hour; it is 2,336 and was achieved by Maccabi GB Junior Rugby Squad (UK) at Allianz Park, London, UK, on 16 June 2013.
