What to do: Organise players into four groups. An additional player is designated as the giant to guard the treasure. The giant roams the space around the treasure. All footballs are placed in the centre of the playing area. When you call âGo!â, one player from each group attempts to steal one ball at a time and pass it back to their group. Must be a pass from the white cone Players tagged by the giant must stop and place their ball on the ground, step over it (perform a rollball) and return to their group. When all balls in the centre are gone, players may attempt to take a ball from other groups, but must perform a rollball if tagged by the giant.

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.
