Kind hearted souls, full of the festive spirit, paid for the privilege of purchasing a red and white suit and hat, to take part in the Sale Sharks Santa Scrum. The scrum was on the pitch at half time, during the Heineken Cup match against Toulon.

The event was in aid of Brainwave, who are the official charity partners of the Sharks Community Trust. Brainwave works with families to deliver individual, home based therapy and exercise programmes that help children with disabilities and aid them to reach their full potential.
