- Line up in three lines with 3-4 players per line. The two outer lines face in to the middle line. - The scrumhalf starts with the ball. One side calls out for the ball, that side is offense. The red team remains defense. - After the tackle is made, defense gets up quick, turns and faces the other team. - Scrum half calls out 3 seconds. Within that time, defense must re-position themselves to make the next tackle. - Repeat for 4 tackles. Rotate.

Most line breaks are made by support runners, not ball carriers. Teach the angles, depth and timing that get them there.
The isolated ball carrier is rugby's spookiest turnover. Here is the five-step fix, plus drills that rebuild support lines fast.
Tacklers are aiming lower, so carriers who dip late put heads at risk. Teach footwork, a strong early body height and leg drive to win the collision safely.
